對慈幼家庭來說，2017年將以「我們是一家！」這句格言開展新一年的旅程。總會長范達民神父，偕同社會傳意議員Filiberto
González神父，以及羅馬總部議會的其他成員，在母佑會總院正式講述2017贈言。
在母佑會總院禮堂，范達民神父與溫幗儀修母會面，在場的還有母佑會眾多代表，以及一些慈幼家庭成員。這位鮑思高神父的繼承人，向在場每一位人士，講解這業已受到多人認識的標語：「我們是一家！家庭是學習生命與愛的園地」的主旨與結構。
總會長在他發表的第三則贈言中，強調了一些重點：家庭中的成員必需具接納、尊重和熱誠，這家庭才能克服困難，欣欣向榮。它包含不同年齡、不同風俗和遙遠國度的人。這大家庭既是多元的，又能齊心一致，這意味著在種種分別中彼此補足增益，並發覺當大家一起走這旅程時，這家庭才是最圓滿和最幸福的。
在與會者作出回應，以及答問部分之後，這一晚以溫幗儀修女的致候辭，以及慈幼式的歡樂作結。

Presentation of the STRENNA for 2017
(ANS - RMG –Roma, 28 December 2016) – For the Salesian Family 2017 will be a year dedicated to a journey together with the motto "We are Family." The Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime officially presented the Strenna at the Generalate of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, accompanied by Fr Filiberto González, Councillor for Social Communication, and other Salesian members of the Generalate of the Salesians.
In the auditorium of the Generalate Fr Ángel Fernández Artime met Mother Yvonne Reungoat together with a large representation of the FMA, and some members of the Salesian Family. To all those present, the successor of Don Bosco, presented the theme and structure of the Strenna for 2017 expressed in the now well-known slogan: "We are family. Every home, a school of Life and Love.”
In this his third Strenna, the Rector Major highlighted some aspects: The Family is fertile soil only if there is welcome, respect and enthusiasm that overcomes the difficulties. It includes people of different ages and varied customs, in faraway countries. Pain, disability, different cultures ... The Family is diversity that makes union of hearts. It means looking for enrichment in the many differences, and discovering that it is at its most complete and happiest when the journey is made together.
After some time for the responses of those present and for questions put to Fr Á.F. Artime, the evening ended with a greeting from Mother Reungoat and a moment of Salesian conviviality.
