Salesian Youth Spirituality

Salesian Youth SpiritualitySchool activities (co - curricular, extra curricular, spiritual) are considered in the integral formation of the young. The pupils and students are given the venues and experiences which allow them to live concretely the values and learnings they have taken in the curricular subjects in the classroom. .

The Salesian style of education recognizes the aim to educate young people to become builders of a Christian community as women and men of Christian conscience, commitment and competency, and includes the development of all their dimensions and interests. Therefore, besides academic, technical and other regular subjects, the playground and the youth activity clubs will help the young person to grow by means of positive suggestions and experiences capable of awakening and involving all his / her interior resources. The group experience provides them with a possibility of exercising responsibility and initiative in a family atmosphere. These youth experiences are characterized by freedom to participate, organize things for themselves, spontaneity, the active presence of the educator-animator, and a common ideal.

 

The activities of the different youth groups are animated by a common spirituality and values lived by both the Animator and the Young: the Salesian Youth Spirituality which is characterized by the different elements.

  • MEETING God in daily life: finding the mysterious presence of the Lord of life in persons, in every day events and duties.
  • LIVING our daily duties with an attitude of celebration: blending the joy of knowing that we are in the hands of God and the duty of freeing ourselves and others from every form of sadness;
  • BEING Church for the spreading of the Kingdom: experiencing community life in an atmosphere of fraternity, sharing family spirit, the sense of belonging to the Church and of openness to service;
  • CELEBRATING the joy of salvation in the Eucharist and in Reconciliation.
  • FOLLOWING the difficult road taken by Mary: finding in her a strong, free woman, the Mother and Teacher of a responsible "yes" to God and neighbor.

All Salesian Youth Groups form part of the Salesian Youth Movement.
