1. The internal renewal of the Salesian Charism in Europe.
2. Restructuring our presences to make our mission more efficacious.
3. Sending missionaries to Europe.
With regard to the first aspect, efforts are still going on and as you can guess, it is not easy to judge the results. With regard to the second aspect, �restructuring�, several initiatives have taken place. The number of provinces has been reduced. Some houses or activities of houses have been closed down or handed over to lay administration. A few new activities, particularly in favour of the poor of Europe, such as the immigrants, the gypsies etc., have been initiated.
