'+Description+': The growth of the 'sector' concept in the Congregation is of particular interest for a number of reasons. The concept is one that has always been defined at the highest level of authority (General Chapter) to begin with. Up until the 19th General Chapter a sector tended to be determined by one or other work (schools, technical schools, oratories, catechetics...), or was even based in people (past pupils, cooperators...). From the 20th General Chapter onwards, an even more essential factor predominated - aspects and dimensions of the life and mission of the Salesians which touch on the entire Congregation. Thus GC 20, 21, 22 defined effectively six sectors (Youth Ministry, Formation, Social Communication, Missions, Economy, to which we need to add the Salesian Family as a sixth), which are represented by a member of the General Council. If we wanted to think in terms of a seventh, we would group the Regional Councillors into a 'sector', since they respond to an overall concept touching the entire Congregation which combines elements such as decentralisation and unity, dialogue, shared responsibility, the inculturation of the charism in a determined area. Be they 'sector' or 'regional' councillors, they play an equal part in the General Council. Of particular note: the English translation of C. 133 is in error. It refers to the councillors in charge of 'special departments', thus introducing a terminological and indeed a conceptual confusion (cf. the note below). The Italian original clearly and deliberately speaks of settore at this point. The mistranslation of the Constitutions then led to a continuation of this terminological confusion in English: the GC25 documents speak of 'Departmental Councillors' e.g. no. 108 and then in no. 112 tries to address problem areas that arise 'between the various sectors'. Part of the problem is the very lack of clarity in terminology!

'+Context (examples of use)+': In the case of the Salesian Family, it is the Vicar of the Rector Major who represents that sector on the Council; it would seem, then, that now that the sectors have been determined, they will continue to exist, though the way in which they are represented could well alter. "The past six years have seen positive experiences of coordinated study between various sectors..." (GC25 no.115).

'+Other notes+': It is important here to make a clear distinction between 'sector' and 'department'. The 'sector' is tied directly to the charism (an aspect, dimension of), while a 'department' is an administrative necessity. One might expect far more flexibility with the notion of department - indeed whether one or other department exists or not) than with a 'sector'. It might also be said that some care needs to be taken to see that the subordinate concept of department does not, in practice, pretend to be its 'superordinate', the 'sector'. The Salesian Sisters do not speak of 'sector' but of ''ambito'' or 'sphere of activity, field.
