The Salesians of Don Bosco are a religious congregation of Brothers and Priests. We were founded in 1859 by Saint John Bosco. Don Bosco’s mission was clear and simple: to be a friend to young people who were poor, abandoned or at risk, and in so doing to be a friend to Christ. Wherever the Salesians work, our mission is the same, but its expression changes to suit the particular context.
So you will find Salesians in schools of all kinds, youth clubs, in homes for homeless or abandoned children; working with street children; missionaries; chaplains in schools, colleges and universities and in parish work. There are currently almost 16,000 members (priests and brothers) in the congregation, working in 131 countries around the world. Currently in the British Province there are 63 Salesians of Don Bosco based in 6 Communities.

As we prepare the way for the Lord in our lives this Advent, each week, we offer you a scripture passage and a prayer, and present four stories showing some of the ways in which Salesians of Don Bosco and members of the Salesian Family in the UK are living their vocation. Clare Lewis 29 November 2018 As students at Salesian School Chertsey joined Chaplain Fr Marco Villani SDB in praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy at lunchtime on Red Wednesday (photo above) we spotted an exciting announcement from the school: 'Salesian Choir were honoured to be asked by the Aid To The Church In Need to record a special 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' for their advent promotion. A mixture of our scholars, sinfonia and staff attended a special rehearsal after school to put together this very important performance.
