─ 慈幼會意大利省會長大會(CISI)，於七月十至十三日，在
Pacognano
di Vico Equense 舉行，意大利六大會省的總會長於七月十三日簽訂協議，成立新的全國性體育聯會。
這是自一年前慈幼會與 PGS 結束伙伴關係後，再次涉足運動事業。 Claudio Belfiore 神父在成立時回應：「這將是簡單而富教育性的組織，慈幼會慶禮院的運動員，在投擲及體操項目上，已從多元化訓練中發展起來，尤其能在運動生涯中奪標。我們願意在青少年的世界中接觸他們，如同鮑思高一樣；因此我們成立了這個全國性聯會：CNOS體育會。」
意大利的慈幼會士為CNOS體育會訂下兩大目標：透過在慈幼會中心的體育活動，協調牧民工作，以及宣傳運動的教育價值。
現今世代是運動世界的時代，也是青少年百無聊賴、恃強凌弱，充滿偏差行為的慈幼會各省會長都堅信，重建運動的教育價值，將更有效回應當前的教育危機，也是陪伴青少年的方法之一，有助向他們灌輸積極面對問題的態度。
「CNOS體育會」以意大利國內超過二百五十所慶禮院及青少年中心的網絡為骨幹，其中大部份位於郊區或社會資源貧乏的地區。
Sport with a human face and a new National Association
(ANS – Italy - Pacognano, 15 Jul 2009 ) – On 13 July in the course of a meeting of the Italian Salesian Provincials Conference (CISI), taking place at Pacognano di Vico Equense between 10 and 13 July, the Superiors of the 6 Italian Provinces signed an agreement setting up a new National Sports Association.
A year after their contacts with PGS finished, the Salesians are once again officially becoming involved in the world of sport.
“It will be a simple structure markedly educational,” said Fr Claudio Belfiore, responsible at National level for the new organisation. “On the pitches and in the gyms of Salesian oratories athletes have developed in all disciplines and especially become champions in life. Like Don Bosco we want to contact youngsters on their own ground; this is why we have started this new National Association: CNOS Sport”.
There are two aims which the Salesians in Italy set themselves with “CNOS Sport”: to coordinate the pastoral work through sport in Salesian centres and to promote the educational values of sport.
The Salesian Provincials are convinced that recovering the educational values of sport will be a firm response to the educational emergency, a way of accompanying the young offering them a constructive approach to the problems which nowadays are a feature of the worlds of sport and of the young such as deviant behaviour, boredom and bullying.”
“CNOS Sport” can count on a net-work of over 250 oratories and youth centres around the country, mainly located on the outskirts and in areas of social deprivation.
