Fr Lenti's books now being made available for the Region
ROME: 28th November 2007 -- A note from Fr Aldo Giraudo, of the
Don Bosco Studies Centre at the Salesian Pontifical University (UPS) in
Rome, indicates that the first volume of the series Don Bosco,
History and Spirit, dealing with 'Don Bosco's Formative Years in
Historical Context', is now available in an edition sold from
Bangalore, as well as from LAS, Rome. 360 copies have been made
available of this first volume, and very shortly 360 copies of the
second volume dealing with the 'Birth and Early Development of Don
Bosco's Oratory', will also be available.
The price of these Bangalore editions will be
considerably less than the €15 required for the LAS edition. If you
wish to have a copy, enquiries should be made as soon as possible to:
Fr Anchukandam Thomas

The third volume of the series, 'Don Bosco Educator,
Spiritual Master, Writer and Founder of the Salesian Society', has
already been consigned to the publishers and drafts for correction are
already being read. It is hoped the remaining four of the series
will be published in the course of 2008.
The entire series is a 'must' for anyone who wishes
to know and understand Don Bosco in historical context more
thoroughly. Fr Lenti has been at Don Bosco Berkeley since 1975,
and since 1984 has been the lead instructor at the Institute of
Salesian Spirituality there. In addition to the series spoken of above,
Fr Lenti has also recently published Don Bosco, his Pope and his
Bishop (cf. austraLasia #1579 - and for further information on Fr
Lenti and his publications, go to sdl.sdb.org austraLasia collection
and run a simple search on 'Lenti', where you currently should find 8
