Each year, the Rector Major presents a Strenna, a gift to the Salesian Family, which will guide our lives and our work for the coming year.

In 2018, as we approach the Synod on Young People, Faith and Vocational Discernment convened by Pope Francis, Our Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernandez Artime SDB, asks us to consider the words of the Samarian woman to Jesus: "Sir, give me this water", and asks us to cultivate our skills in listening to and accompanying the young. Fr Ángel presents the Strenna in the video below.
