The Salesian Bulletin in The World
The Salesian Bulletin, founded by Don Bosco, spreads knowledge of Salesian spirit and activity, especially in its missionary and educational aspects. It is concerned with the problems of youth, encourages collaboration and tries to foster vocations. It is as well an instrument for formation and a bond of union between the different branches of the Salesian Family. It is edited in accordance with the directives of the Rector Major and his council in various editions and languages. - (General Regulations of the Society of St Francis de Sales, n.41).
1875 - Don Bosco publishes the first Bibliofilo Cattolico - Bollettino Salesiano Mensuale (The Catholic Book Lover - Salesian Monthly Bulletin).
1877 - Don Bosco works a radical transformation of the magazine: Eight large two-column pages give news and communications that are predominantly Salesian. An appendix carries booklists.
1878 - Its title becomes "The Salesian Bulletin." The subscription rate was nominally three lire, but there was no obligation to pay, and after some time even the indication of the price was dropped.
1879 - the French Bulletin comes into being.
1886 - in October, the Spanish Bulletin starts. Later the Bulletin was printed in other languages: in English in 1892; in German in 1895; in Polish, in I897; in Portuguese in 1902; in Hungarian in 1903; in Slovenian in 1907; in Lithuanian in I927.
Don Bosco's purpose:
10 August 1877, Don Bosco said to Don Barberis, "The end of the Bulletin is to make our work known as much as possible, and to make it known in its real meaning. It will help us to obtain aid, obtaining the good will of people for our institutions. The periodical will be the principal support of all our undertakings; if it should fall, they also would fall. As many readers as possible should be sought for it. It should be spread free, in every possible way."
According to Don Bosco's idea the Bulletin was to remain the general organ of the Salesian work, and not a particular publication for each country.
Circulation
1877 - the circulation of the Salesian Bulletin was about 5,000. Nine years later it was 42,000. Today the Salesian Bulletin is published in over 50 different editions throughout the world, in over 30 languages, carrying Don Bosco's heart to all peoples, with a look at the Salesian world and a Salesian look at the world.
