A Collaboration That Strengthens the Salesian Family<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A National Network at the Service of Vulnerable Minors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the network comes together, no young person is left on the sidelines. Don Bosco\u2019s Violet<\/strong> is not just a major public event,\u201d says Fr. Francesco Preite<\/strong>, National President of Salesians for Social<\/strong>. \u201cIt is a concrete sign of a national network that is growing and recognizes itself as united in its responsibility toward the most vulnerable minors. Throughout Italy<\/strong>, we bring a clear message: there is a community that believes in young people, invests in them, and works every day to offer real opportunities for growth and a future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salesians for Social<\/strong> network is expressed through educational communities, day centers, oratories, social inclusion programs, educational support initiatives, and personalized accompaniment\u2014places where the educational legacy of St. John Bosco<\/strong> continues to live thanks to the commitment of Salesian educators and Cooperators, volunteers, and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His message remains relevant today and continues to inspire the network\u2019s daily commitment: \u201cDoing good is like the violet flower: a flower that cannot be seen, but whose fragrance can be perceived by all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
