ORIGINAL	ENGLISH	COMMENT	CITATION
necrologio [IT]	the necrology	List of deceased members read out or otherwise provided for each community.
norme costituzionali [IT]	Constitutional norms	We mostly find the term collocating with principles, criteria, hence we can deduce that norms are ways of putting principles into practice. Rules are synonymous with norms. Norms, then are juridical, practical, concrete, objective, disciplinary...A contemporary phrase is 'criteria and norms of vocational discernment'.
notaio [IT]	notary	One of the functions of the Provincial Secretary.	EG03-Il Segretario Ispettoriale:..Ciò significa che il Segretario ispettoriale ha funzione di 'notaio' o 'cancelliere'..
notiziario ispettoriale [IT]	Province newsletter	An alternative form is 'Provincial newsletter'. First formally encouraged after the Special General Chapter, the PN is now more than encouraged but virtually obligated as one amongst many elements of the Salesian Social Communication System. The expectation is that the NP becomes a planned item within the province's overall plan.The NP is primarily to enable an exchange of news within the province.
novissimi [IT]	Last Things, the	The Italian term comes from the Latin ''novissima''. In traditional spirituality in English we speak of the 'Last Things', and capitalise the term. In Salesian tradition the ''novissimi'' are more than just the moments of dying and death but the consideration given to sin, mortal sin, death, judgement, heaven, hell, eternity. Part of the change of mentality today has been a movement away from the notion of personal salvation only to that of the salvation of the world.	DBscritti:..od una conferenza alla sera, e questa versi su qualcuno dei novissimi.
Novitius, N [IT]	Novice, N	This term is to be found in the Year Book.
noviziato [IT]	Novitiate	The alternative spelling noviciate is rarely used in Salesian circles.
Novo Millennio Ineunte [IT]	At the Beginning of the Third Millennium	Quoted either in its Latin original, but often in English translation, this is the Apostolic Letter written by Pope John Paul II on 6th January 2001 at the close of the Great Jubilee Year.
nucleo animatore [IT]	animating nucleus	Refers to the core Salesian SDB element in the educative community, though in recent times Fr Chavez has been extending the notion, indicating that the Salesian Family is the animating nucleus of the wider Salesian movement.	Chavez ACG389:...necessario il ruolo della comunità SDB come nucleo animatore dell'opera,...
nuova cultura [IT]	new culture	The term is seen in the context of new evangelisation. In reference to culture, the qualifying term new indicates simply the emergence of the future with all its challenges for mankind and for faith.	RATIO CH12:...le sfide della nuova cultura, della secolarizzazione, dell'evangelizzazione)
nuova evangelizzazione [IT]	new evangelisation	Often attributed to Pope John Paul II as one of the characteristic terms of his pontificate, that Pope actually attributes the term to Pope Paul VI in his encyclical ''Evangelii Nuntiandi''. It became a significant ecclesial movement through the 80's and 90's and was taken up by Salesian General Chapters. JP II first used the phrase himself on March 9 1983 in a speech in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He said the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus required not a re-evangelisation but a new evangelisation. He clarified the term in his 1990 encyclical ''Redemptoris Missio'', saying it referred to groups who had lost a sense of the living faith. In a letter of Pope John Paul II to the Salesians, he adapts the phrase to refer to Mary Help of Christians as the Star of New Evangelisation.	Cartcom:.. Un'attenta sensibilità alle interpellanze della nuova evangelizzazione.
nuove frontiere [IT]	new frontiers	The term creates no great difficulties in translation. It came to prominence in reference to AGC390, Fr Chávez letter on Social Communications and takes The term begins its Salesian life, it seems, in 1989 with a reference from Fr Viganò in the context of ''Christifideles Laici'' and new evangelisation. Pope JPII refers to these ''nuove frontiere'' addressing GC23 in 1990, and Viganò continues to refer to it. Fr Vecchi broadens it out in one sense (''nuove frontiere giovanili'') but in another sense begins to direct it to the Salesian mission. This is where it begins a 'new life' - and GC25 further develops the term in 'mission' context. Then Fr Chávez begins to look at sectors of the mission - and one in particular, social communications. Finally he chose it as one of the challenges of the Congregation to be discussed at GC26. Here it is closely tied to the Salesian mission.
nuove presenze [IT]	new presences	Cf the general comment on the use of the term 'presence' in Salesian contexts. However in this case the term is closely tied to GC26, Project Europe, and refers to the revitalisation of Salesian life through an apostolate which is better adapted to the times, more attractive, fruitful, with good vocation potential; a work that can infuse new life into the province. It does not imply of itself abandoning classic works but that these too need to be transformed and provide room for 'new presence', meaning a new way of being present where we find ourselves already. Similarly, giving new meaning to works is possible when we create an authentic and truly pastoral setting, something stimulating and attractive, like an ecosystem where life grows up fresh, pure, dynamic, when the Salesian community becomes an authentic animating and dynamic nucleus involving other people who identify more and more with our charism; when there is a well-prepared project, shared an especially put into practice; in short when we find spiritual, pastoral and vocational fruitfulness (cf GC26, 113).
