Being Salesian is FUN!!  It is serving God in a spirit of joyful enthusiasm.  It involves an active presence amongst the young working with them and beside them so that they can grow and mature to be “good Christians and honest citizens”.

Being Salesian is about being committed to the young, especially the poor, disadvantaged and marginalised.  It’s about living and working in communities committed to a gospel style of action.  It is a spirituality where daily life is the meeting place with God, and Christian life is understood as a path to happiness.

It is a spirituality centred upon the joyful celebration of the Eucharist.  Salesians place their trust and confidence in the maternal assistance and guidance of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

It is by encountering God in the young with whom they work that members of the Salesian Family discover the fullness, beauty and wonder of God’s love.
