"In my letter to the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians on the occasion of the centenary of the death of Saint Mary Domenica Mazzarello, I made the point that the holiness of a Founder has a very special character quite different from that of a canonized saint who is not a Founder; and this is not only because of his particular personal and historical features, but because of his distinctive and unique holiness and apostolate and the "experience of the Holy Spirit" that he transmits to his followers to be lived, safeguarded, deepened and constantly developed by them in harmony with the Body of Christ continually in the process of growth. In Don Bosco we find the Saint and the Founder so blended as to make him our perfect father and model. To this end the Holy Spirit fashioned him by endowing him with a practical holiness that was further enriched by his talent for attracting and forming spiritual children so that he could say with the Apostle, 'Be imitators of me as I am of Christ'. The events of history show us clearly that the only way open to Don Bosco to achieve his vocation and holiness was to be a Founder". (E. Viganò, ASC 310 1983).

The 1988 centenary of Don Bosco's death was an opportunity for study of Don Bosco as founder:

"The centenary year has been for us a kind of living, precious and prophetic synthesis (in organic continuity with our tradition) of 25 years of post-conciliar work: the SGC, the GC21, the GC22, the renewed text of our Rule of Life, the" Ratio Institutionis", the two Books of government (the Provincial's and Rector's Manuals), the ''Regulations of Apostolic Life'' of the Cooperators, the many aids for renewal, the fundamental Identity Documents of the other Groups of the Family, have found organic and existential expression in the figure of Don Bosco the Founder, the model given us by God 'as father and teacher'." (''The Don Bosco Centenary and our Renewa''l, Fr Viganò, 1989)

'+Context (examples of use)+': Of great significance was the symposium on Don Bosco the Founder. (''The Don Bosco Centenary and our Renewal'', Fr Viganò, 1989)

'+Other notes+': Father and Founder is a common term in Salesian discourse, in reference to Don Bosco.
