(Los Angeles, California) – We’re excited to share our newest Salesian Province video—featuring our Provincial, Fr. Mel Trinidad, as the opening interview. His message sets the tone for a powerful look at how the Salesian mission continues to shape young lives today.
A Mission of Faith, Joy & Service
Across California and Laredo, Texas, the Salesians accompany more than 30,000 young people each year through schools, youth centers, camps, parishes, and leadership programs. Rooted in the charism of St. John Bosco, our mission is to be signs and bearers of God’s love—especially for the poor and most at-risk youth.
What the Video Highlights
- A Message From the Provincial: Fr. Mel opens the video by sharing the heart of our mission and the importance of accompaniment.
