In 1875, St John Bosco, who had originally wanted to become a missionary himself, sent the first group of members of his Congregation to Argentina. The southernmost part of South America, that is to say, the territories of Chile and Argentina, became the central mission area where the Salesians set their strength. Other parts of the world followed. Members of the Slovene community joined the missionary movement even before the first Salesian institution was founded on Slovene soil. In a century and a half, just under a hundred Slovene Salesians have gone to the missions. They have taken several original initiatives to support mission institutions, vocations and students from mission landsV letu 2025 skupnost salezijancev praznuje 150-letnico začetkov misijonskega dela. V letu 1875 je namreč sv. Janez Bosko, ki je prvotno sam želel postati misijonar, v Argentino poslal prvo skupino članov skupnosti. Predvsem najbolj južni del Južne Amerike – ozemlja Čila in Argentine – je postal osrednje misijonsko področje, kjer so salezijanci zastavili svoje moči. Sledili so drugi deli sveta. Člani skupnosti slovenske narodnosti so se misijonskemu gibanju pridružili, še preden je bila ustanovljena prva ustanova na slovenskih tleh. V stoletju in pol je v misijone odšlo skoraj sto slovenskih salezijancev. Dali so več izvirnih pobud za podpiranje misijonskih ustanov, poklicev in študentov iz misijonskih deželTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
