Don Boscos salesianer
Don Boscos salesianer är en romersk-katolsk prästkongregation grundad 1859 av Don Giovanni Bosco och uppkallad efter Frans av Sales. Dess verksamhet är knuten till att hjälpa ungdomar som är hemlösa eller har andra sådana problem.
Salesianerna är verksamma som lärare och missionärer, även i Sverige.

The Salesian Coat of Arms, designed by Professor Boidi, appeared for the first time in a circular letter of Don Bosco's on 8th December 1885. The shining star, the large anchor, the heart on fire symbolize the theological virtues; the figure of St. Francis de Sales recalls the Patron of the Society; the small wood in the lower part reminds us of the Founder; the high mountains signify the heights of perfection towards which members strive; the interwoven palm and laurel that enfold the shield either side are emblematic of the prize reserved for a virtuous and sacrificial life. The motto Da mihi animas, caetera tolle, expresses every Salesian's ideal.
