Dear Confreres,


After the publication of the documents of the 26th General Chapter, «Da mihi animas, cetera tolle», I am happy to present to you the Project of Animation and Government of the Rector Major and his Council for the six-year period 2008-2014. It is intended to translate into operative terms what was decided by our Chapter Assembly. Starting with the letter convoking the GC26 it was said that we wanted a Chapter that was to be not so much doctrinal as especially programmatic. In fact the Chapter document has adopted a scheme which, starting from God’s call made known to us through the Constitutions and the reflections of the Church and of the Congregation, might throw light on the situation in which we are living in reference to each of the proposed five key issues in order to discern what procedures to set in motion to make changes and what courses of action to follow to respond always better to the will of God, to the needs of the young and to the expectations of the Church.

The GC26 is a genuine navigation chart that ought to guide the Salesian Congregation not only until the next General Chapter, but also to the celebration of the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco. The Chapter document and the subsequent Project of animation and government represent our commitment to a spiritual re-birth and a renewed apostolic zeal, so as to arrive at the jubilee of 2015 with spirits well disposed.

The document «Da mihi animas, cetera tolle» has carefully identified the different subjects called to put it into practice: the individual Salesian confrere, the community, the Province, the Rector Major and his Council.
