They began their Orientation Course in early September at the Generalate in Rome and now they are completing it in the Salesian places. They will be joined by some Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and lay volunteers. From the time of Don Bosco to the present, about 11,500 Salesians, 3,500 Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and several hundred volunteer missionaries have received the missionary cross at Valdocco from the Rector Major. About 2000 other Salesians have also been sent directly from their Provinces to mission territories. -- infoans.org/1.asp?Lingua=2&sez=1&sotsez=13&doc=11367
