The congregation

We were founded as Salesians by Don Bosco in Turin on 18th December 1859 with the name of St. Francesco di Sales’ Society. We are recognized by the Church as a religious institute dedicated to apostolate work all over the world and we are of papal law from the canonical point of view. Our congregation is a male religious one devoted to apostolic and missionary activity and to the several works that Christian charity has aroused, but above all to the service of young people, especially the poorest and abandoned ones.
