The Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) is an international Catholic Religious Order of men dedicated to be signs and bearers of the love of God for young people, especially those who are disadvantaged.  The order is named after St. Francis de Sales, an early-modern bishop of Geneva renowned for his kindness and patience.
Founded by Saint John Bosco in Italy during the nineteenth century, to care for the young and poor children of the industrial revolution, they now number over 16000 priests and brothers, present in 131 different countries all over the world.
Wherever they are, the development of the young through Education and Evangelization is the focus of their mission because they believe that the total dedication to the young is the best gift to humanity.
