(ANS – New Rochelle) - Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco, joins humanitarian organizations and countries around the globe in celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8. The day honors the economic, political and social achievements of women while focusing the world’s attention on areas requiring further action.

(ANS – Vatican City) – Return to the essentials, be small before God, fast from external needs, convert with all your heart. This is the path traced by the exhortations of Francis, John Paul I, Saint Paul VI and Saint John Paul II. Words, taken from their Pontificates, which in this Lenten journey are an intense exhortation addressed to the heart of every human being.

(ANS - Rome) – The following is the missionary reflection of the General Councillor for the Missions, Fr Alfred Maravilla, for this month of February, which focuses on Salesian pastoral work with indigenous peoples.

(ANS – Roma) – The “novena” of Don Bosco’s dreams proposed by ANS in this bicentenary year of the Dream at Nine Years of Age ends today, 31 January, on the feast day of the Father and Teacher of Youth. While the dream of the 10 diamonds contained an unequivocal warning, this other vision of Don Bosco seems to assure his sons of a rosy future, always provided that they continue on the path indicated by Providence through their founder, following his timeless legacy. This is the so-called dream of the “triumph of the Congregation” (Biographical Memoirs, 1881, XII, 337-338).
