Spiritual life, apostolic commitment, educational activity are three aspects of a single reality: the love and pastoral charity that unifies and drives all of existence: to be in the Church signs and bearers of God’s love for the young. The article presents the main sectors, in which Salesians from Krakow Province are involved: oratory, school, youth centre, youth associations. The second part is based on research on the Newsletter Wiadomości Inspektorialne which took place in the period: May - June 2007.

The main findings of qualitative and quantitative analyses of 480 articles published between 2001 and 2005 are that Salesians insist in their activities on physical, intellectual and spiritual dimensions which are important in Don Bosco’s preventive system.
