The Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB), constitute an international religious order, founded by St. John Bosco (1815 – 1888), commonly known as Don Bosco. A Catholic Priest of the 19th century Italy, Don Bosco is known and celebrated all over the world today, as the Father and Friend of youth, particularly the victims of poverty and neglect, facing various social, economic and moral challenges of a rapidly globalizing world. The SDBs numbering around 18,000 have their presences in 132 countries in all the five continents, engaged in various missions, inspiring, empowering and transforming – in short ‘educating’ the youth to be agents of social change. The Salesians are thus dedicated and committed to youth development for societal transformation and nation building.
