【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2014 年 01 月 24 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 慈幼會總會長查偉思神父，剛發表一輯他個人的錄像信息，內容是關於讓臉書 (Facebook) 慈幼化 2014 的計劃。在這計劃上，他請求人們將鮑思高神父的圖畫或相片，載入他們臉書的封面 ，使臉書猶如其中一名設立者所言，成為我們與青年「會面」的新「場所」。

讓臉書慈幼化是意大利南部會省 Cristiano Ciferri 神父，聯同哥倫比亞會省波哥大的 Marco Antonio Pita（他後來成為該會省的備修生），以及Andrea Pap於 2011 年所發動的計劃。自此，計劃由哥倫比亞會省，現正實習中的 Marco Antonio Pita，聯同其他年輕慈幼會士及志願者繼續推行。

Marco Antonio Pita 說：「這裡成為很多人分享他們團體照片、國旗、反省、思想的地方……這是聚會之所，我可以說這裡成為了青年人聚集的新場所。事實上，這裡很有吸引力，因為他們以自己的語言書寫，吸引其他人觀看，並鼓勵他們繼續提供策勵及推動。本年，我們上載了一些翻譯成八種語言的資料，對來自不同國家的會士很有幫助。」

讓臉書慈幼化 2012，吸引了來自超過 60 個國家，共約 10,000 名參與者及 27,000 名被邀嘉賓作出回應。在去年鮑思高瞻禮時，讓臉書慈幼化 2013 已有多達 44,665 名訪客，已確實參與者達 8,104 人。截至今天早上十時，短短三日內便吸引多達 15,660 名訪客，而參與者也多達 2,363 人。

總會長在發出邀請時表示：「我們必須勉力讓一些促進人道、包容與開放對話的價值，豐富我們的世界。鮑思高神父已這樣做了！我邀請你們成為讓臉書慈幼化數碼世界的成員。」

Making Facebook Salesian 2014: Video message from the Rector Major

(ANS - RMG –Roma, 24 January 2014) – The Rector Major of the Salesians, Fr Pascual Chávez, has issued a video message associating himself with the initiative Making Facebook Salesian 2014.  This initiative has as its basic idea to ask people to put a picture or photo of Don Bosco in their profile, so that, as one of its creators explains, it becomes a new “playground” where we meet young people.

Making Facebook Salesianis an initiative launched in 2011 by Fr CristianoCiferri of the Southern Italian Province, together with Marco Antonio Pita, then a pre-novice of the Bogotà Province of Colombia, and Andrea Papa. Since then, the initiative has been carried on by the Colombian Salesian Marco Antonio Pita, now in practical training, and other young Salesians and volunteers.

Marco Antonio Pita says: "It becomes a space in which many people share photos of their groups, the flags of their countries, their thoughts and reflections ... It's a meeting place, I would say that it becomes a new playground where young people meet. It is, in fact, very attractive because they write in their own language, and this attracts many others, and encourages them to continue offering animation and motivation. This year we have the information translated into eight languages ​​with the help of confreres from different countries."

Making Facebook Salesian2012 was answered in more than sixty countries with approximately 10,000 participants and 27,000 invited guests. At the time of last year’s Feast of Don Bosco, Making Facebook Salesian 2013 had 44,665 guests and 8,104 confirmed their participation. By 10.00 a.m. today there are 15,660 guests in only three days and already there are 2,363 participants.

In his invitation to participate, the Rector Major said: "We must try to enrich our world with all those values ​​that can make it more humane, more inclusive and more open to dialogue. Don Bosco would have done so! I invite you to become a member of the digital world Making Facebook Salesian.”
