He had one desire – to spend his life working with the young. This was achieved by employing a simple teaching method still practiced today. The Preventive System – based on love and not punishment, with reason, religion, and loving kindness. We call this the Salesian Spirit. Today, many Missioners, Volunteers, and Cooperators practice his philosophy with the continued interest and generosity of people all over the world. May our combined efforts bring hope to those in need. After all, Saint John Bosco is waiting for us in paradise. 25864 Cal_Don Bosco ang 2014_ep1 10/8/13 3:30 PM Page 3 How to help our SALESIAN MISSIONARIES! ■ By praying every day for the missionaries. ■ Mass intentions (living/deceased) for the Missions: – offering of $10.00 for one Mass – offering of $250.00 for 30 “Gregorian Masses”. ■ Scholarships for young seminarians. ■ Leave a Legacy: Leave a gift in your will and continue to help youth in need. ■ Condolences: Make a donation to honour the memory of a loved one. ■ Honorary Donation: Special occasions, birthdays, weddings, and the like. ■ Employer Matching Gifts Program: Encourage your employer to match your donation. ■ Life Insurance and Listed Securities: Designate the Don Bosco Mission Office as the beneficiary of an insurance policy or transfer securities directly. ■ Enroll a living or deceased person in the Sacred Heart Association (see last page). ■ No gift is too small – any gift can make a difference.
