SALESIAN LITERATURE

Apostolate according to SFS

Studies in Salesian Spirituality


The first Seminar on “Salesian Spirituality”, by the Missionaries of St Francis de Sales was conducted in March 1981 at Visakhapatnam. The great enthusiasm of the participants and their encouragement made it a regular feature every year. This book contains talks during the “Studies in Salesian Spirituality 1982” in Bangalore on the “Apostolate according to Saint Francis de Sales.” At the request of the participants we publish it in a book form. May it be a guide to them for further study and reflection while to those who could not attend the course, an introduction to various aspects of the apostolate of St. Francis de Sales.
