Detail: The name Salesian was born in Italy. A young priest, Don Bosco, foresaw the unsettling influence that the industrial revolution was having on youth. He inaugurated a Society of Priests, Brothers and Sisters to work with children of the poor and laboring classes. Aware of the understanding and patience required with youth work, he chose as patron St. Francis de Sales, who was noted for having conquered a fiery temper to achieve a gentle character. That family name "Sales" gave title to the Salesians of St. John Bosco. The Salesian Boys' Club was established in San Francisco in 1918 by Fr. Oreste Trincheri. Father came to the North Beach area of San Francisco and found that its atmosphere spawned 60% of the city's delinquency. He realized that the volatile, creative Italian character of the boys that made up the area must have outlets for their energies. The Salesian Boys' Club was the answer.
