SAINT JOHN BOSCO YOUTH ORATORY

Saint John Bosco and the Youth

Today, in almost every nation of the world, the oratories of Don Bosco are flourishing. In them can be found the most up-to-date attractions and encouragements for every form of religious and social activity. They are equipped to meet the needs of the times and the new needs of souls. Their flourishing and their success are, however, conditioned by their fidelity or otherwise to the spirit of the Founder.

The fulfillment of his ambitious programs demanded helpers. These he sought and found among generous clerical and lay co-operators. He formed them, too, from the best of his boys, inspiring them with something of his own dynamic zeal and sense of apostolate. Thus was he able to register consoling successes even before he had at his disposal the help of his religious family, the Salesian Society.

A training ground for apostolic souls. Such is the Salesian Oratory. It provides a golden opportunity for Salesians, for clergy and for laity, in the service of God and of youth.

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
