Special year of listening - 2018


By Fr. Vaclav Klement, SDB


EAO, 1 January 2018 -- Meanwhile we celebrate the year 2018 (Anno Domini – AD), the Buddhist Calendar writes year 2562, the Islamic Calendar year 1439, the Chinese calendar 4715, the Korean calendar 4351, the Javanese calendar 1951 and in the East Asia region this year is celebrated as the ‘Dog Year’ – Lunar New Year on February 18.


The United Nations has not declared the 2018 as the International Year for any specific topic. The Catholic Church is preparing for another Synod of Bishops in October, this time focused on the Young people: 'Young people, Faith and Vocation Discernment'.

As every New Year timetable also AD 2018 offers in the Congregation many occasions for common growth of the Salesian Charism thanks to the dynamics of mutual sharing and exchange. The 2018 Strenna of the Rector Major ‘Let’s cultivate the art of listening and of accompaniment’ help us to live more with the heart of Don Bosco.


The Salesian Mission Day 2018 (SMD) is focused this time on Initial Proclamation of Jesus in Asia: ‘Whispering the Gospel’. In a special way we are invited to explore the opportunity of our Vocation Training Centers for the initial proclamation.
