The Salesians of Don Bosco in the Philippines is a Catholic religious congregation of pontifical right working in the Philippines under two jurisdictions: for Luzon, the Philippine North Province (FIN); for Visayas and Mindanao, the Philippine South Province (FIS). The Salesians started working in the Philippines in 1951.[1] The FIN has 25 canonically erected communities while the FIS has 14 canonically erected communities.

Salesian Works and Presences

The Salesian presences refer to a physical presence of a Salesian work in a geographical area. Salesian presences may house more than one Salesian community doing one or more works. A Salesian community on the other hand is a religious house that has been canonically established by the congregation to live in a stable manner in a Salesian presence. Salesians identify eight official works:

  1. Oratory and Youth Center
  2. School and Professional Formation
  3. Boarding and Hostel
  4. Tertiary Sector
  5. Parish
  6. Social Services and Works for Youth at Risk
  7. Social Communication
  8. New Forms of Salesian Presence
