1. Salesian Creed
GC23, 95

2. We believe that God loves the young
We believe that God loves the young. This is the conviction which is at the origin of our vocation, and which motivates our life and all our pastoral activity.

3. We believe that Jesus wants to share “his life” with young people: they are the hope of a new future, and in their expectations they bear the seeds of the Kingdom.

4. We believe that the Spirit is present in them and that through them he wants to build a more authentic and human Christian community. He is already at work in individuals and groups. He has given them a prophetic task to carry out in the world which is also the world of all of us.

5. We believe that God is awaiting us in the young to offer us the grace of meeting with him and to dispose us to serve him in them, recognising their dignity and educating them to the fullness of life.
In this way our work of education becomes the pre-eminent context in which to meet him.

6. We believe with Don Bosco:
That social communication was amongst the most important tasks entrusted to him by Divine Providence

7. We believe with Don Bosco:
That the spreading of good books is one of the principal aims of our Congregation

8. We believe with Don Bosco:
That similar activities will call down on us and our youngsters the choicest blessings of the Lord

9. Let us pray…
Give us, Father, Don Bosco’s vision, so we can take up social communication as a divine work in the service of the young.
“Tutti i confini della terra vedranno la salvezza del nostro Dio” (Is 52,10)

10. Through the intercession of Mary…
Make who spread human and spiritual values into communicators:
the voice of the voiceless, bearers of truth leading to you,
and of the fellowship in the Kingdom announced to us by your Son Jesus.
