A particular feature of Don Bosco’s missionary strategy was the surprising large participation of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.
L’opera salesiana che viene presentata in queste pagine, per molti versi è singolare
rispetto alle comuni opere nelle quali i salesiani svolgono la loro missione; per questo parlare della Elledici e del Centro Evangelizzazione e Catechesi Don Bosco, a prima vista, sembrerebbe solo un discorso interno o “di famiglia”, che interessa quasi esclusivamente i salesiani. L’opera svolta da queste due istituzioni, infatti, è chiaramente una attività di indole intra-ecclesiale, dove si parla di catechismi, di testi di religione cattolica, di evangelizzazione, di spiritualità.
