Salesians of Don Bosco

Way back in 1841, Don Bosco began his work for young street kids in one of Italy's rapidly industrialized cities. Over the years he developed an exceptional method of educating. This method was to become his way of being with young people. The spark of his charm and his presence ignited dream that has captured the inspiration of thousands of others.

Today, 112 years after his death, he has a following of about 40,000 committed men and women who go by the name ‘Salesians’ They are dedicated to the service of youth, especially the poor, abandoned, dropouts, those without any future. The Salesians are spread in 124 countries, with over 3000 institutions.

We, Fr. Luciano Capelli sdb, Fr. Ambrose Pereira sdb, Fr. Pedro Balcazar sdb and Br. Yukihiro Tanaka sdb are happy to be part of the growth of youth in Solomon Islands.

Under the invocation of Mary, Help of Christians, Don Bosco worked many miracles and laboured for the salvation of thousands of youth. He worked hard to spread this devotion, encouraging all to have confidence in Mary’s intercession. "Have devotion to Mary, and you will see what miracles are," he often said.

We turn to you, Mary Help of Christians, that you may protect us and that through your intercession we may have PEACE.
