Since 1937
A magazine sustained by its readers
Don Bosco's Madonna developed to its present form from a folder published in 1937 by the late Fr Aurelius Maschio on behalf of the Salesians of Don Bosco, Bombay.
The magazine is sent to all who ask for it, even though there is a fixed subscription: Rs 200 / India and Rs 400 / Airmail. We trust in the generosity of our readers and benefactors.
Whatever you send helps cover the expenses of printing and mailing. Any surplus is devoted to the support of orphans and poor boys in our schools and apostolic centres.
Help the Mission
Support a vocation
To help a poor lad reach the priesthood is a privilege. A Perpetual Burse may be established with:
Rs 5,000
Rs 10,000
Rs 15,000
Any amount, however small, will be gratefully received.
