Salesians Ireland
Overview
Salesians Ireland is just one part of the global congregation which have over 15,000 members – Religious Brothers and Priests who work in 134 countries worldwide. They represent a broad range of initiatives in schools, parishes, chaplaincies, community outreach and care homes, and are involved in youth ministry, spiritual direction, retreat work, university work and international missionary work.
The Salesians of Don Bosco have had a presence in Palestine and Israel since the late 1800s, beginning in the heart of Bethlehem city. In the context of the current conflict in this region, Salesians are responding to humanitarian needs in various ways in Bethlehem and Nazareth.
Regarding Gaza, the Don Bosco response depends on the local residents in the West Bank and Israel, but they are unable to access the Gaza strip due to the blockade. However, the Salesians are doing their utmost to serve people most affected in the communities around them during this challenging time. Don Bosco Aid Ireland is starting a further fundraising campaign to support this response.
