The Salesians of Don Bosco in the Philippines is a Catholic religious congregation of pontifical right working in the Philippines under two jurisdictions: for Luzon, the Philippine North Province (FIN); for Visayas and Mindanao, the Philippine South Province (FIS). The Salesians started working in the Philippines in 1951.[1] The FIN has 25 canonically erected communities while the FIS has 14 canonically erected communities.
Salesian Works and Presences
[edit]The Salesian presences refer to a physical presence of a Salesian work in a geographical area. Salesian presences may house more than one Salesian community doing one or more works. A Salesian community on the other hand is a religious house that has been canonically established by the congregation to live in a stable manner in a Salesian presence. Salesians identify eight official works:
- Oratory and Youth Center
- School and Professional Formation
- Boarding and Hostel
- Tertiary Sector
- Parish
- Social Services and Works for Youth at Risk
