Our service to the poorest and most abandoned young people is mainly done through care facilities, which are some of the more developed and growing activities in our Congregation.
The great variety of structures carrying out this service – family homes, foster families, day-care centres, children’s residential homes… – has the following features:
• a personalized educational relationship with each boy,
• a formation offer focusing on the “pedagogy of love”, which is proper of our Murialdine charism and
• a strong wish to be more and more faithful to St L. Murialdo’s words: «Poor and abandoned: here are the two requirements making a young man as one of ours own; and the more he is poor and abandoned, the more he is one of ours»
