The Salesians of Don Bosco (SDBs) was founded by St John Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco, in 1859. Their motto says “Da mihi Animas cætera tolle,” which means “Give me souls, take away the rest.” Don Bosco had envisioned a unique system of education built on Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness that would uplift the underprivileged and the poor. Through the power of education and apostolic works, the Salesians of Don Bosco have empowered several thousands of youth across the globe to emerge out of poverty, gain access to innumerable resources and achieve a better quality of life. The Salesian way of life encourages young people who feel God’s call to work to join this mission of serving the poor and the disadvantaged.

The Salesians of Don Bosco continue to carry forward the legacy and vision of Don Bosco  in almost every country across the world. Working with the marginalised and those downtrodden, being the face of Christ to the lost and least has been the way the Salesians live out their vocational calling.
