Don Bosco in Cagliari becomes three. And a single community is born.
From September the Salesians of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari will have a new physiognomy: a single religious community at the service of the young people of the area, with the task of animating the three Salesian houses, i.e. the three educative-pastoral communities which take care of three different and complementary attentions at the service of young people:
- the Don Bosco house in Cagliari is at the service of children, young people and young people with school and attention to the world of culture and formation.
- the house in Cagliari San Paolo is at the service of children and young people with the oratory - youth center and the parish of San Paolo, which take care of evangelization and youth associations.
- the house of Selargius San Domenico Savio is at the service of young people with the professional training center and attention to the world of work.
HISTORY. Don Bosco's dream in favor of children and young people, especially the poorest, reads a note from the religious institute, "continues with renewed enthusiasm, having its charismatic nucleus in the Salesian community, with the involvement of many lay people and young people who, becoming protagonists of their own growth, realize the beauty of an educational charism present in 136 countries of the world. Even where Christians are still persecuted and the right to religious freedom is not protected, the Salesians are called by the governments to found new schools and vocational training centres. An effective educational charisma that has helped to raise "honest citizens and good Christians" for over 180 years". The adventure in Cagliari began 110 years ago, when in October 1913 the first school year was inaugurated in what was then Via degli Orti, now Via Sant'Ignazio da Laconi. Since then, generations of children "have alternated on the benches of middle school and high school, and since the 1990s also in the kindergarten and primary school of happy childhood".
