terms marked with ^† are often without further comment. They come from the experience of people who have translated large tracts of Salesian literature, e.g. Fr Borgatelli’s translation of the Memorie Biografiche. In other words most of these terms are dated ones, found only or mainly in older Salesian texts. To view terms in context, click on the text indicator below the term (not all terms have one as yet).

IT	new evangelisation	EN-EN	Often attributed to Pope John Paul II as one of the characteristic terms of his pontificate, that Pope actually attributes the term to Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Evangelii Nuntiandi. It became a significant ecclesial movement through the 80's and 90's and was taken up by Salesian General Chapters. JP II first used the phrase himself on March 9 1983 in a speech in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He said the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus required not a re-evangelisation but a new evangelisation. He clarified the term in his 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Misso, saying it referred to groups who had lost a sense of the living faith.	In a letter of Pope John Paul II to the Salesians, he adapts the phrase to refer to Mary Help of Christians as the Star of New Evangelisation.
