A PRIMER ON THE

SALESIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT

Youth serving youth,

Moving out to those who need us,

Shaping a world that will soon be all our own.

Youth serving youth,

Not afraid to take the challenge

To be the bearers of love and signs of all that we believe.

The original Primer on the Salesian Youth Movement (August 1992) was prepared by the Salesian Commission on Youth Ministry (Don Bosco Philippines) for the animators of the SALESIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT, and for all those involved in Salesian youth ministry. It was based on the proceedings of the NATIONAL YOUTH GROUPS CONGRESS II, held in December 1991 at Don Bosco, Makati, and was presented in the Salesian Provincial Chapter 1992. This Revised Primer (2008) has been prepared by the Youth Commissions of the Northern and Southern Salesian Provinces of the Philippines. It draws from the Movement’s rich experience of the past 15 years, and looks forward to the Third Millennium.

“The Salesian Youth Movement …

 is an original gift  of the community of believers,

and one of the riches of the Church and youth.” (GC 23)                                                                     back
