[Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ]

[Archaic refers to terms that have fallen out of regular use. Deprecated indicates official disapproval or if not disapproval, official abandonment at least. A neologism is a term that has come into play relatively recently - say, since Vatican II, but the time frame can be flexible.]

(:def: "To support our missionary activity" is the briefest and most simple partial definition found in the Salesian Regulations (R. 24). For the rest there is no clear definition but a number of descriptions are available. The same Regulation notes that there is a difference in kind: a mission office may be set up by the Rector Major and his Council to serve the whole Congregation, and local mission offices may also be set up. Their organisation and functioning may differ. Cf. 'description' further on. :)
(:status1: Salesian:)
(:status2: ---:)
(:syn: missions office, missionary office, mission and development office, missions and development office, project and development office, *procure (cf. 'other notes' below):)
(:des: The term 'mission office' found its way into the Salesian Constitutions and Regulations (but only in the 'Regulations') in the 1984 edition of the renewed Salesian Constitutions, but the entity came into existence in 1947 with the establishment of the New Rochelle Mission Office. Here it ought be noted that the first such mission office was founded in an English-speaking country (with that title, namely, ''mission office'') but referred to in Italian as a 'procura'.
We know from subsequent documentation (e.g. Acts of the General Council 323) that such an office may be at ''international'' level (where it will have almost certainly been set up by the Rector Major with the consent of his council and in agreement with the local provincial (as in the case, say of Bonn and Madrid, after New Rochelle); or it may be at ''national'' level or at the level of a ''province'' (which may cover more than one nation).
This office, which is always distinct from an NGO (though it can be recognised by Government as such) but not necessarily distinguishable from a project and development office (in other words they may be one and the same thing in some instances), will seek to provide material help for missions and mission-related projects, and will also promote the Salesian charism, engage in contact with like-minded agencies.Its fundamental principles will be 'Salesian', that is, of an educational and pastoral nature.
At the highest level of definition we could say that a mission office is one amongst many possible organisations for solidarity in Salesian activity. :)
(:context: "The recent meeting of the Directors of the Salesian Mission Offices gave me the opportunity to express my greetings and gratitude to them for all the good work they do for the most needy of young people and the poorest of families throughout the world..." (P. Ch�vez, 2002)
:)
(:equivot: :)
(:note: One occasionally finds the term 'procure' being used in English, in reference to a Salesian mission office. In linguistic terms this is a calque - bringing the Italian term 'procura' into English with one minor change (the final 'e'). It may be reinforced by the fact that a director of a mission office may also be correctly called a procurator.
English only recognises 'procure' as a verb, and it has unfortunately been besmirched by its use in the sex industry, so both linguistically and socially the term 'procure' is best avoided.
It should also be noted that since the term has its origin in English (cf. the historical note above on the 1947 institution of the NR Mission Office), 'procura' is a translation into Italian rather than the other way around.:)
(:reg: Some countries are unable to use the term 'mission' for socio-political reasons.:)
