(ANS – Marseilles) – Marseilles is undoubtedly a Salesian city where Don Bosco's presence is strong. For three years now, there has been a group called the Steering Committee which brings together the Directors of Social Action Centres (members of the Don Bosco Action Sociale - DBAS network) and those from the schools, under Salesian supervision. It is a solid network that can strengthen and develop teamwork at several levels and that has decided to produce a brochure to present the richness of the Salesian presence in Marseilles. This effort is being carried out by the Don Bosco High School in Marseilles.
