Salesianity Formation for the Salesian Family
St. Francis of Sales is the titular patron of the Salesian Family. He is known as the Doctor of Love in the Church. Despite a disposition leaning on anger, he worked his whole life to live humbly and charitably. Today he is best known for his meekness and gentleness. This is the very reason St. John Bosco took him as patron when he founded the Salesians of Don Bosco. Don Bosco knew that in order to be effective shepherds of young people, it is by charity and gentleness that a Salesian educator engages the young.
In preparation for the 400 years death anniversary of St. Francis de Sales, who died in December 22, 1622, the Social Communications Office is organizing a two-year preparation through a series of Salesianity Formation for the Salesian Family. By getting to know who St. Francis is, the more we become Salesian.
