'+Description+': The Salesian Family is a vast movement comprising congregations, institutes and associations, both religious and lay, that have grown out of the heart and pastoral experience of Don Bosco’s charism. Besides the first groups founded by Don Bosco himself, others have emerged over time which are seen to share a common mission with them: namely, the evangelisation and education of young people, especially the most needy.

On the 31st January 1995 the then Rector Major, Fr.Egidio Viganò, gave the Salesian Family the ‘Common Identity Card’, and some years later, his successor Fr. Juan Edmundo Vecchi gave the ‘Common Mission Statement'. These two documents helped the various groups to deepen their common spirituality and apostolate.

From 2002 the Rector Major, Fr Chávez, made great efforts to strengthen the unity of the various groups, giving renewed impulse, not only by welcoming new groups, but also by offering clear guidelines on the identity, spirituality and apostolic character of the Salesian Family, especially through the teaching of his annual Strenna,

The ‘Charter of Salesian Identity’, announced at the concluding session of the 28th ‘Salesian Family Spirituality Days’, is viewed as an essential step towards presenting the Salesian Family as a true, authentic movement for the salvation of the young, officially recognised as such by the Church.

The document contains those elements that define the charismatic identity of the Salesian Family: mission, spirit, relationship, formation, approaches to education and evangelisation.

Following on the announcement in January 2010, the draft document was presented to the Salesian Family World Advisory Council exactly one year later, with the commitment on the part of the various representatives to present it to their respective general Councils, with a view to studying it and enriching it with their suggestions and observations. It is the gathering of their contributions that has made the final version possible. In the Presentation section we read: ‘The description in this Charter of the identity of the Salesian charism of our Family is the result of a long process of reflection and convergence of thought, especially at the heart of the World Advisory Council.’
