Favoured Sons and Daughters

The 1st March 2008 edition of the Tablet contains a Featured Article on the Salesians. Written by the Tablet's Rome correspondent, Robert Mickens, it refers to the number of Salesians and Salesian Sisters who have important positions in

the Vatican, and to the large number of Salesians who have been made bishops. However it also contains a very good overview of what the Salesians are really about!

You can read the article on the Tablet web site. You will need to 'Log in' using your email address, and then look down the left hand column under 'Further Reading' for Previous issues... 01 March 2008.
