Today, the Sandor community brothers visited the Don Bosco Printing Press in Makati. The visit was part of their Organizational and Management course, designed to give them firsthand experience of how organizations operate. During the tour, the brothers were able to observe the key managerial functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling in action.

This exposure was especially valuable, as it allowed them to see how these four essential elements are applied in a real workplace setting. The experience not only enhanced their understanding of organizational processes but also provided practical insights that will support their formation and future responsibilities.

With deep sorrow, the Salesian Family announces the passing of Fr. Jayson “Fr. Jay” David, SDB, who peacefully returned to the Creator on November 26, 2025, at 9:09 PM, due to Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Born on September 25, 1975, Fr. Jay lovingly dedicated his life to God, the Church, and the young, serving with gentleness, humility, and a fatherly heart. His ministry, marked by compassion, pastoral zeal, and unwavering faith, deeply touched the lives of many confreres, lay mission partners, young people, and families.

We thank the Lord for the gift of Fr. Jay’s life and vocation. As we mourn his loss, we entrust his soul to God’s infinite mercy and commend him to the maternal care of Mary Help of Christians, whom he dearly loved.

Funeral and wake details will be shared in the official announcement through the proper channels.

Thanking, rethinking and relaunching : theme for the 150th anniversary of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition

This year we remember the remote in 1875, when the first missionary expedition left from Turin!

Give thanks: We thank God for the gift of the missionary vocation that allows, today, the Salesians of Dom Bosco to reach poor and abandoned young people from 137 countries.

Rethink: This is an occasion to rethink and develop a renewed vision of the Salesian missions in the light of new challenges and new perspectives that have led to new reflections.

Relaunch: Not only do we have a glorious history to remember and be thankful for, we also have a history that is still being unfolded! We look to the future with missionary zeal and renewed enthusiasm, convinced that we will still be able to reach an even larger number of poor and abandoned young.

Today, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Salesian missionary expedition, we give thanks for the treasure of audacity and faith that has driven generations of missionaries.

Celebrating 150 missionary expeditions is an act of gratitude, looking back at a history of courage and dreams that have become reality. We pray for all Salesian missionaries, that they may continue to be inspired by the spirit of Don Bosco and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Particularly, we pray for the members of our Sandor community who serve in the mission Br. Pham Hoàng Nguyên-CIN, Br. Tran Lòc Anthony-CIN, and Br. Sangam Arliush-AFE-SUD Delegation, and for all Salesian missionaries working in our various provinces, that you, O Lord, will grant them the strength, wisdom, and perseverance to continue serving the young and the poor.

We also pray for all who have the desire to go for the mission, that you will grant them the courage to take the first step, the faith to trust in your providence, and the perseverance to see their mission through to the end.

May we, as a community, continue to be inspired by the example of the Salesian missionaries and may we support their work through prayer, generosity, and solidarity. Amen
