The Salesian Bulletin is an official publication
Purpose
The Salesian Bulletin was established by Don Bosco. It was linked initially with the foundation of the Association of Salesian Cooperators and the first Salesian missionaries in the Americas. Don Bosco intended that the Bulletin, as the official publication of the Salesian Congregation, "will link Salesians and cooperators."[1]
History
The Salesian Bulletin comes from a former experience that Don Bosco had in having his own publication. Although the researchers never found a copy, it traced a second issue by August 1875 named Bibliofilo Cattolico (The Catholic Booklover) that was printed in the Oratory Press of Don Bosco. The Catholic Booklover was dedicated to late vocations.[3] The first editions were published in Italian, but it will be soon not just translated by edited in several languages between the 19th and 20th century.
Expansion
In August 1877, Don Bosco did a transformation of the Bibliofilo Cattolico to Monthly Salesian Bulletin (Bollettino Salesiano Mensuale). The fact that Don Bosco numbered it as 5 and volume 3, proved the continuity with the Bibliofilo.[3]
The first language was French, followed by Spanish in 1886. Don Bosco died early 1888 and the continuity of the publication passed to his successors.
