O encontro deste ano teve como temática a Percepção da imagem de Dom Bosco fora da obra salesiana entre 1879 e 1965.
Giovanni Bosco – Una preziosa parola ai figli ed alle figlie
Figliuoli, credete a me, che v’amo e vi parlo con un cuor proprio di padre. Io vi amo, perciò vi raccomando caldamente d’ imprimere ben bene nella vostra memoria i seguenti ricordi, i quali, se sono necessarii sempre, lo sono assai più nei tempi che corrono così pericolosi per voi.

Giovanni Bosco – Cenno biografico sul giovanetto Magone Michele allievo dell’oratorio di San Francesco di Sales
Tra quelli di voi, giovani carissimi che ansiosi aspettavano la pubblicazione della vita di Savio Domenico eravi il giovanetto Magone Michele. Nella vita di Savio Domenico voi osservaste la virtù nata con lui, e coltivata fino all’eroismo in tutto il corso della vita sua mortale. Continue reading “Giovanni Bosco – Cenno biografico sul giovanetto Magone Michele allievo dell’oratorio di San Francesco di Sales”
Nestor Impelido – “Salesians in the Philippines (1949-1963): historical notes” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.
The aim of the Seminar is to present the beginnings of the Salesian Presence in East Asia and Oceania. The Philippines, as part of this Salesian Region, has also its beginnings and origins from the first Salesian Presence in East Asia: China. For in the two times that the Salesians started to root themselves in the Philippines, they came from China to negotiate and to concretise what they negotiated.

John Nguyen Van Ty – “The beginning of the salesian work in Vietnam: the patriarchal story and exodus” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.
Up to the present day, officially the Salesians of Vietnam has had a history of over 52 years. A history that is long, as well as epic and fruitful enough to draw admiration from many, as well as attention of those who are interested in Salesian history, as we are here in these days. Unluckily, because of the social and political turmoil of the country, most of the documents had been destroyed or lost, which certainly renders the writing down this history become a very challenging task. it is my task to present to you a short historical account of the first period of this glorious history. The beginning of the Salesian Work in Vetnam, of which, in using biblical expression, I would dare to give a subtitle: The Patriarchal story and the Exodus. The account that my presentation is dealing with covers a time-span of about 25 years, roughly from 1930 to 1955.

Marivic Sombero – “The seeds of Mornese in Timor. FMA contribution to the implantation of the salesian charism” in “Implantation of the Salesian charism in Asia – Ideals, challenges, answers, results”
The present paper, a textual elaboration of the power-point presented at the Batulao Seminar, tries to re-capture the salient moments in the history of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA) in Timor (and Indonesia) from their arrival up to the present day. Our presence in this land is rather recent considering that we arrived in Timor only in 1988.
Francesco Motto – “Salesian missionary activity while blessed Filippo Rinaldi (1921-1931) was Rector maior with particular reference to eastern Asia” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.
On 6 February l922,Pius XI (1939) ascended the Papal throne: he would become known as a “Pope of the Missions” (as was his predecessor, Benedict XV). Two months later, on 24 April, Fr. Filippo Rinaldi ( 5 December 1931) was elected Rector Major: his ten years in office would be recalled for the great re-launching of the Salesian missionary movement. After a rapid glance at the “missionary policy” of the Papacy during the same period, we shall concentrate on that.

Estrella Castalone – “The daughters of Mary help of Christians in the Philippines” in “L’educazione salesiana in Europa negli anni difficili del XX secolo”
After the permission from the General Council was obtained, Sr. Catherine Moore, delegate of the Provincial Superior, left Hongkong for the Philippines on 1° December 1955 with Sr. Erminia Borzini to make the necessary preparations.
Francesco Motto – “Storia e Congregazione. Un invito alla riflessione” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
Il Rettor Maggiore, don J. E.Vecchi, che già nel 1997 aveva sottolineato l’importanza della storiografia salesiana (lett. Io per voi studio, ACG 361), nel 1998 è ritornato sull’argomento.
Francesco Motto – “History and the Congregation. An invitation to reflection” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
The Rector Major, Fr J. E. Vecchi, had already in 1997 emphasized the importance of the study of salesian history (cf. Letter For you I study, AGC 361), and in 1998 he came back once more to the same argument.
Stanisław Zimniak – “Pro memoria pour la conservation du patrimoine culturel” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
Durant le 1er séminaire international d’histoire de l’oeuvre Salésienne pour l’Afrique et Madagascar, qui a eu lieu du 11 au 14 octobre 2011 à Karen (Nairobi – Kenya), nous avons eu la possibilité de réfléchir spécialement sur les questions liées à la production et à la conservation de la mémoire salésienne. Il a été constaté qu’en ce qui concerne le soin des archives provinciales, (à part quelques exceptions comme celles des archives provinciales de l’Afrique Centrale) il reste beaucoup à faire, soit par rapport aux personnes responsables de ce secteur de notre congrégation, soit par rapport à l’état des structures nécessaires pour garder la mémoire de l’oeuvre des SDB de manière convenable. On rencontre plutôt une situation alarmante qui requiert des interventions avant qu’il ne soit trop tard, sans renvois indéterminés.
Stanisław Zimniak – “Pro memoria in relazione alla custodia del patrimonio culturale” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
Durante il 1° Seminario Internazionale di Storia dell’Opera Salesiana per l’Africa e il Madagascar, svoltosi dall’11 al 14 ottobre 2011 a Karen (Nairobi – Kenya), si è potuto riflettere in modo particolare sulla questione legata alla produzione e alla conservazione della memoria salesiana. Si è constatato che nella cura degli Archivi ispettoriali (con poche eccezioni: come quello dell’Archivio ispettoriale dell’Africa Centrale) rimane assai da fare sia in riferimento al personale responsabile per tale settore della nostra congregazione sia in relazione allo stato di strutture che si dovrebbe mettere a disposizione per tutelare in modo conveniente la memoria dell’operato dei SDB. Si riscontra, piuttosto, una situazione allarmante che richiede interventi fatti in tempo debito, senza rimandi indeterminabili.
Francesco Motto – “Histoire et Congregation. Une invitation a la reflexion” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
Le Recteur Majeur, Père J. E. Vecchi, qui avait déjà en 1997 souligné l’importance de l’historiographie salésienne (lett. Io per voi studio, ACG 361), a insisté en 1998 sur le thème.
Stanisław Zimniak – “Pro memoria with regard to the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage” in “Storia e identità salesiana in Africa e Madagascar. Questioni di conservazione del patrimonio culturale”
During the 1st International Seminar on the History of Salesian Work in Africa and Madagascar, held between 11 and 14 October 2011 at Karen (Nairobi – Kenya), it was possible to reflect in a special way on the question of the production and the conservation of the Salesian memory. It was noted that in the care of the Provincial archives (with few exceptions: as for example that of the Provincial Archives of Central Africa) much remains to be done from both the point of view of the personnel responsible for this sector in our Congregation, and from the point of view of the state of the structures that need to be put in place to safeguard in the best way the memory of what the SDB have done. Rather there appears to be an alarming situation which requires something to be done quickly, without it being put off indefinitely.
Graziana Dizonno – Calciosociale e Radioimpegno: l’impegno dei giovani in periferia
Corviale è una periferia a sud ovest di Roma, spesso conosciuta ai romani per una complessa presenza di criticità sociali e territoriali, quali: l’occupazione abusiva; il degrado strutturale del complesso abitativo; l’alto tasso di abbandono scolastico prematuro; la diffusa microcriminalità. Dal 2014 però, da quando l’ASD Calciosociale ha riaperto una struttura pubblica abbandonata, riqualificandola, dopo anni di lavori, secondo i principi della bioarchitettura e della sostenibilità energetica, e attivato un vero e proprio programma educativo per i giovani del quartiere, Corviale ha conosciuto una nuova opportunità di riscatto.
