Blessed Ceferino Namucurá

Ceferino

August 26th 2008 is the first time that we have been able to celebrate the feast day of Ceferino Namucurá, a Salesian pupil from South America. He was beatified on 11 November 2007. There are more resources on the central Salesian web site.

Working for Youth in Need

The Salesians of Don Bosco, (SDB) are an international Roman Catholic Religious Order of men dedicated to be signs and bearers of the love of God for young people, especially those who are disadvantaged.

Founded by Saint John Bosco in Italy during the nineteenth century, we now number over 16000 Priests and Brothers, present in 128 different countries all over the world.

Wherever we work, the development of the young through education and evangelization is the focus of all our concern because we believe that our total dedication to the young is our best gift to humanity. Saint John Bosco said, "I have promised God that I would give of myself to my last breath for my poor boys."

In the Salesian province of Great Britain we have over 80 Salesians (Priests and Brothers) working from eight communities, with responsibility for schools, parishes, youth work and a retreat centre.

We collaborate with other members of the Salesian Family including the Salesian Sisters, Cooperators, Volunteers of Don Bosco and Past Pupils.

You can taste our charism, our Salesian Way, in the pages of this website, especially in the sections Salesian Footprints and Led by a Dream

We maintain support for our Mission in Liberia, West Africa, where Salesians work for the children especially those who were soldiers in the recent wars.
