On the night between 9 and 10 April, 1886, Don Bosco dreamed
of the growth of the Salesian works along an axis that traversed the world from
South America to China. As if from above, the Madonna made him see the main
cities of the future Salesian missions. He recalls: Mary, said: now draw a
single line from one extremity to the other, from Peking to Santiago, traversing
the centre of Africa and you will have an exact idea of how much work the
Salesians have yet to do. (MB XVIII p. 72-74)
The points highlighted on the map above indicate the Salesian Provinces today -
each of them has about 50 works in the service of poor youth.
