From 10th to 12th April 2011 there was a meeting in Rome for those organising volunteers to work overseas in a Salesian missionary spirit. There were representatives from Australia, Austria, Czech Republic, Great Britain, Ireland, Poland and the USA.

The first SOS (Salesians out Serving) programme for 2010 ran from 18th - 28th July. It ended with a Mass and a meal in the Salesian Sisters' House at Brettargh Holt near Kendal in the Lake District. Fr Bob Gardner presented certificates to the participants and Br Sandy Fairley, who led the team, renewed his profession as a Salesian brother.

NB. Both posts have now been filled.

Following the appointment of a new Rector and a review of the team structure at Savio House we are now entering into an exciting new phase and are looking for two talented professionals with experience of working with young people to join us.
