Whats special about a Salesian Brother?
The Salesian Brother, like the Salesian Priest, takes the three vows of obedience, poverty and chastity, lives in community with his fellow Salesians, and engages in the same mission to the young, modelling his life on Christ the Good Shepherd and making the example and educational system of Don Bosco his own. The difference is that he is involved, preferably, in apostolic activities of a secular nature. Here are examples of the various roles in which Salesian Brothers live out their vocation in West Africa: Educators, Professors, Development Officers, Administrators, Accountants, Catechists, Technical Instructors, Artists, Information Technologists, Media Technicians, Sports Instructors, Publishers, Librarians, Musicians, etc. Today there are as many as 2221 Salesian Brothers throughout the world, while our vice province is blessed with many Brothers.
