Presentation of the Rector Major's 2024 Strenna

Presentation of the Rector Major’s 2024 Strenna


(ANS – Rome – Dec. 27, 2023) 
– Since the time of Don Bosco, the message of the annual strenna has accompanied the life of Salesian communities around the world as a guideline that traces paths of education, evangelization, and developments related to the signs of the times and the life of the Church. This is why the presentation of the strenna message is a moment awaited with great interest by the entire Salesian Family. For the coming year, the message is already prepared under the motto identified by the Rector Major: “The dream that makes you dream”: A heart that transforms “wolves” into “lambs.” And the appointment is already scheduled: today, December 27, at 5:00 pm (UTC+1).

Following the well-established tradition, Don Bosco’s 10th successor, Cardinal Angel Fernandez Artime, will present the message during a courtesy visit to the generalate community of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in Rome, in the presence of the Mother General, Sister Chiara Cazzuola, and the FMA general councilors, the resident community, of some members of the SDB general council, and representatives of the Salesian Family.

After an introduction by the Rector Major, the video that accompanies and illustrates the meaning of the strenna’s message through images will be projected. An interview will follow, in which Card. Fernandez will answer questions from 2 members of the Salesian Family. Through this dialog, it will be possible to delve into the theme to grasp its details and their interpretation.

All this will be made accessible to all interested parties through live streaming on the different language channels of ANS Channel, at the following links:
