Dear Inspector,
I hope you are fine. I am writing to you about the specific formation of Salesian Brothers, with a view to enrolling in the "Saint Francis of Sales" community of Turin Valdocco.
For six years now we have begun the phase of specific formation for Salesian brothers in Turin Valdocco. It is a formative experience of a "world" character, like the specific formation communities for Salesian clerics of Rome Gerini and of Jerusalem.
The "Saint Francis of Sales" community of Valdocco, which is an apostolic community, has the responsibility for this phase and besides the director has a team of three confreres. It would be desirable for every Region to have a confrere present every year. I therefore ask for your availability and collaboration in identifying a suitable confrere.
An important aspect is the knowledge of the Italian language. For the Romance languages the presence in Turin is sufficient for the months of July and August; for the English language it would be appropriate at least for the months of May-August, if this is not possible before.
I send you the registration form for 2013-2014 to be sent by January 31, 2013 to the director and manager. Their addresses are: comusales@valdocco.edu , pavol.grach@sdb.sk
Best regards
Don Francesco Cereda
