SOMMARI - SUMMARIES 2015 - Digital Collections - Biblioteca Don Bosco - Roma - http://digital.biblioteca.unisal.it Le crisi degli ispettori della Francia (1904-1906) FRANCIS DESRAMAUT In seguito alla dissoluzione ufficiale delle opere salesiane francesi nel 1903, l’i- spettore della Francia Sud, Pietro Perrot, rifugiato in Italia, fu esonerato dalla sua ca- rica poco dopo il capitolo generale del 1904. Egli subì molto male questa destituzione e, “per salvare il suo onore”, reclamò da don Rua un posto equivalente, tentò un ap- pello a Roma, ma sempre invano. Quanto, invece, al provinciale della Francia Nord, Giuseppe Bologna, allorché tentò, a partire dal Belgio, di ricostituire la sua provincia molto malmenata per la per- secuzione, fu chiamato in Italia nel mese di giugno del 1906, protestò per tre mesi, si rassegnò malvolentieri in settembre e approdò a Torino il primo gennaio 1907. Morì dopo tre giorni. Provincial crises in France (1904-1906) FRANCIS DESRAMAUT Following the official dissolution of the salesian works in France in 1903 the provincial of southern France, Pierre Perrot, fled to Italy, and he was relieved of his position shortly after the general chapter of 1904. He reacted very badly to this dismissal and, “for the sake of his honour”, he asked Father Rua for an appointment to a similar position. He tried to appeal to Rome. But it was all in vain. On the other hand Giuseppe Bologna, the provincial in northern France, began from Belgium to rebuild his province, which had been very badly treated during the persecution. He was summoned to Italy in June 1906. He fought his case for three months and reluctantly submitted in September. He went to Turin on the first of January 1907 and died three years later. L’insediamento salesiano a New York. La visita straordinaria di don Paolo Albera (marzo 1903) MICHAEL MENDL Don Paolo Albera concluse la sua visita straordinaria in America (settembre 1900 - marzo 1903) con la sosta di 10 giorni presso la comunità salesiana di New 4 Sommari - Summaries York, che era stata fondata appena quattro anni prima (novembre 1898).

Riassume la visita brevemente, poi ne indica gli effetti. La limitata documentazione archivistica, corre- lata con la visita di don Albera, è presentata con note. Salesian beginnings in New York. The extraordinary visitation of Father Paolo Albera in March 1903 MICHAEL MENDL Fr. Paolo Albera concluded his extraordinary visitation of the Americas (September 1900 to March 1903) by spending ten days with the Salesian community in New York, which had been founded barely four years earlier (November 1898). His visit crowned the difficult beginnings of the Salesian mission among the Italian immigrants of the great city and gave the mission an important impulse for expansion and growth. In fact, it may be said to have altered the course of Salesian development in the United States, marking a shift of emphasis from California to the Northeast. In his article, Fr. Mendl places Fr. Albera’s visit within the civil, ecclesiastical, and Salesian context, emphasizing immigration. He summarizes the visit briefly, then shows some of its effects. The limited archival documentation dealing with the visit is presented with annotations. Marie Lasserre e la fondazione dell’Istituto salesiano di Caserta FRANCESCO CASELLA Il nome della benefattrice Marie Lasserre, già istitutrice presso la corte del Duca di Parma, è legato alla fondazione dell’Istituto salesiano di Caserta (1897), che doveva essere, nelle intenzioni della Lasserre, un’opera di carità per i ragazzi poveri, orfani o scolari, per onorare la memoria di Maria Immacolata di Borbone, nata a Ca- serta, figlia di Ferdinando II, Re delle Due Sicilie, andata sposa ad Enrico, conte di Bardi, fratello di Roberto, Duca di Parma. La pubblicazione delle lettere di Marie Lasserre, che coprono il periodo 1895-1905, consente di conoscere le origini e le prime attività dell’opera salesiana di Caserta. L’introduzione di carattere storico, fon- data prevalentemente su ricerche archivistiche, pone in risalto lo sfondo storico civile e religioso dell’Italia, della diocesi di Caserta e della congregazione salesiana, entro cui leggere le lettere della Lasserre.

Marie Lasserre and the foundation of the salesian Institute of Caserta FRANCESCO CASELLA The name of benefactress Marie Lasserre is linked with the foundation of the Salesian Institute of Caserta. She was a former governess at the court of the Duke of Parma and it was her intention that the Salesian Institute would be a charitable work for poor boys, for orphans and for schoolboys. It was to honour Maria Immacolata of Bourbon, who had been born at Caserta, the daughter of Ferdinand II, the King of the Two Sicilies, and who had married Henry, the Count of Bardi, the brother of Robert, Count of Parma. The publication of the letters of Marie Lasserre, which cover the period 1895-1905, throws light on the origin and the early activities of the Salesian work in Caserta. The introduction, written in historical fashion and based mainly on archival research, highlights the depth of the civil and religious history of Italy, of the diocese of Caserta and of the Salesian Congregation, in whose context we read the letters of Lasserre. Father Michael Rua, Father Celestine Durando, Monsignor Gen- naro Cosenza, Bishop of Caserta, and Marie Lasserre, now blind by the time she began her correspondence, are the principal protagonists in the foundation of the Institute of Caserta. The letters, supplemented by annotations from the archival research, can be read in the second part of the study.

  • MONTLY MESSAGE N
    MONTLY MESSAGE n. 5 — 2017 Turin - Valdocco 24 May MARY URGES US TO BEAR WITNESS TO HER PRESENCE Our devotion to Mary Help of Christians, which we emphasize particularly in this month with the novena and the feast in her honour, commits us to witness her maternal presence to all those who are far from God or who are experiencing difficult trials such as war, illness or injustice. Through prayer and example, we are called to approach the hearts of those who are far from God and his grace. Mary Help of Christians is with us and intercedes for each of us, so that with love and courage we can witness the faith, and encourage people to look to her and consecrate themselves to her Immaculate Heart. She sends us in order that, like small lights in the world guided by her maternal love, we may shine clearly with full splendour. Prayer will help us, because prayer saves us and saves the world. She exhorts us not to be afraid to tell the truth, and not to be afraid to change ourselves and the world by spreading love, making her Son known and loved, so that love may reign in our lives: a love that is living, a love that attracts and a love that gives life. It is up to us to acknowledge it, live it and spread it. The aspect that characterizes our association is the popular dimension of the Salesian charism, which finds a typical expression in popular piety. The term "popular piety" designates those diverse cultic expressions of a private or community nature which, in the context of the Christian faith, are inspired predominantly not by the Sacred Liturgy but by forms deriving from a particular nation or people or from their culture.

    Social Sciences and Missions 32 (2019) 311–341 Social Sciences and Missions Sciences sociales et missions brill.com/ssm Catholic Missionaries of the ‘Holy Land’ and the Nahda The Case of the Salesian Society (1904–1920) Paolo Pieraccini Università di Firenze [email protected] Abstract At the beginning of the twentieth century, some Palestinian and Lebanese Salesians, influenced by the Arab Renaissance movement, began to claim the right to oppose the ‘directorships’ of the institutes of the Don Bosco Society in Bethlehem and the sur- rounding area. They also began to request better recognition of their native language, in schools and within the religious community. They clashed with their superiors who, in the meantime, had signed an agreement with the Salesian government in Rome, committing them to developing the Italian language in their teaching institutes. The struggle became particularly fierce after the Holy See rebuked the Palestinian religious congregations for teaching the catechism and explaining the Sunday Gospel to people in a foreign language and urged them to do so in Arabic. The clash caused a serious dis- turbance within the Salesian community. Finally, after the First World War, the most turbulent Arab religious were removed from the Society of Don Bosco. All converged in the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, where they continued forcefully (but in vain) to put forward their national demands. This article is based on several unpublished sources. Résumé Au début du XXe siècle, des salésiens palestiniens et libanais, influencés par le mouve- ment de la Renaissance arabe, revendiquent le droit de s’opposer à leur direction, celle des instituts de la Société de Don Bosco à Bethléem et dans les environs.

They are years rich in the wise teachings of our holy Mother, under whose guidance fervor was continuous; years of fast growth in the number of vocations, and of further development evidenced by the opening of twelve more Houses. Trials are not wanting: death is still claiming victims among the young Sisters, yet these occasions bring to light such virtue as to leave no doubt about the supernatural richness of the primitive spirit. As in the preceding volumes, the narrative follows a year by year pattern interspersed with brief indications of the various events, which, as already explained, correspond to the marginal notes of the original manuscript.

  • 2. Invitation
    A CONCISE HISTORY OFTHE SALESIAN KOREAN MISSION Michael Chang SDB* 1. Don Bosco arrived before the Salesians Don Bosco was a man who dreamed dreams. His dreams became reality and are still becoming reality. A lot of people think that he had a dream that is connected with the Korean province. The dream concerns the evangelization of Northeast Asia. I will now attempt to say a few words about how that dream became a reality in Korea. If we look at the historical records that we have in our possession, the first Salesian confrere to set foot on Korean soil was the "Don Bosco of the East", the Eastern Interpretation of Don Bosco's Preventive System, the Venerable, Fr. Vincenzo Cimatti. ln 1934, he went to Manchuria to give a concert. At the same time he visited Korea, giving a concert in four cities. After touring Korea, he went back to Japan and wrote an article for the Salesian Bulletin entitled "Don Bosco of Korea." It appeared in the February 3, 1939 edition of the Italian "Bolletino Salesiano". "I went to Korea to give a concert. As I was passing through that land, I saw that the faithful know Don Bosco. The articles that were written about Don Bosco in Japanese were printed in the catholic magazine <KyeongHyang Japji>. Therefore, the Koreans know about Don Bosco and some have even taken the baptismal name of Bosco' Bishop Larribeau of Seoul, who is a member of the French Foreign Mission Society, told me this. St. John Bosco has gone before us into this land".

Un biografo del secondo successore di Don Bosco potrebbe far sue le parole del Manzoni sul Cardinal Federigo Borromeo (1): «La sua vita è come un ruscello, che, scaturito limpido dalla roccia, senza ristagnare né intorbidarsi mai, in un lungo corso per diversi terreni, va limpido a gettarsi nel fiume ». Dalla fanciullezza alla vecchiaia la non breve vita dì Don Albera passò gradatamente per diversi uffici, trovandolo sempre uguale a se stesso in una compostezza serena e operosa, quasi senza mutazioni di rilievo. Questa sua calma, appresa da Don Bosco, fu messa a dura prova negli anni della prima guerra mondiale, quando tutto d'un tratto vide tanti confratelli dì varie nazioni, strappati alle loro pacifiche opere di bene per essere lanciati sui campi di battaglia.
