Don Bosco is a saint who is honored as the “father and teacher” of the youth.

Continue reading “Anthony Nguyen – “God as father and Don Bosco as father” in “Journal of Salesian Studies””
The article of Fr. Arthur Lenti is very well documented, succinct, and concise. In my response, I would like to focus on two points.

Another is to call to mind the inter-cultural aspect which deserves more of our attention nowadays. Continue reading “Savio Hon – “Back to Don Bosco: Da mihi Animas Response of Fr.

Secondo Caselle, per più anni benemerito sindaco di Chieri, esplorando l’archivio storico del comune e i registri parrocchiali di Chieri, quelli comunali e parrocchiali a Castelnuovo e altrove e in più gli atti notarili depo
l Tempio di Don Bosco, nel suo complesso, fu costruito negli anni ’60, su progetto dell’lng. Enea Ronca. Consta di due chiese sovrapposte. La chiesa inferiore, terminata nell’anno 1965,
