Communication 

Communication in a secular environment - 10 slides indicating understandings of communicating the Good News in a secular environment, and how to 'read' other news from that environment

Useful in a variety of settings - could be used with senior students at school, and certainly in a Salesian Formation setting.

The 7 Habits

of Highly Effective People

You've read the book - why not see the Presentation!

I have used this at Senior level in Secondary Schools as a way to help young people sharpen their approach to study and life in general - a good Salesian presenter can align it with other less secular thinking.

Accompaniment

7 slides in all, on Salesian accompaniment of young people

First presented to lay teachers in a Salesian school, but useful to prepare young Salesian 'assistants' also.

Guts & Glory; Mud & Mystery

An intriguing title!  6 slides offering an environmental approach to the Trinity

Prepared in a multicultural, interreligious environment as part of a talk to a parish youth group - later developed into a three day retreat on how Trinity should affect our daily lives.

Now is the acceptable time

5 slides illustrating Fr. Vecchi's Letter on Vocations - which will be perennially useful.

Makes a useful presentation for a community conference, associated with the stripped down and illustrated version of the letter available here in pdf format.

Pedagogy and Quality - the pastoral quest

Essentially material on the Preventive System, but couched in non-Salesian terminology

Useful in a variety of settings.

The Contemplative Journey

27 slides in all - but the file is not so heavy to download. (36 Kb).  By Fr. Michael Court sdb (Melbourne)

Originally produced for the annual assembly of Catholic Secondary School Principals, this series (or parts of it) could be used in a variety of settings - in community, for retreats...
