Don Bosco Seminary, Karunapuram, is an Immediate Postnovitiate House, which trains the young Salesians to achieve a progressive integration of faith, culture and life and growth in the spirit and mission of Don Bosco. To facilitate the above process, it aims at imparting adequate philosophical, pedagogical and Catechetical preparation in dialogue with the prevailing culture (Constitution 114 and Ratio 296), in its Salesian Study Centre, named Vishwa Jyothi Don Bosco College.

SALESIAN BROTHERS' COMMUNITY

The Immediate Postnovitiate Formation Programme for the Salesian Brothers, of all the Salesian Provinces in India, is being held at Don Bosco Philosophate, Karunapuram (Warangal), since June 2010. Prior to this, the same formation programme was being held for the Salesian Brothers, at Don Bosco Vidyaniketan, Kalyani (1982-2010) and Don Bosco Nitika, Tengra (Kolkata), (1977-1982).

The Salesian Brothers are attending the same programme together with the Salesian Clerics, at Vishwa Jyothi- Don Bosco College. Through the three-year programme of the College which integrates intellectual formation with spiritual growth and personal effectiveness, the students are helped to form a critical, realistic and holistic vision of the world, human being and God, that is in harmony with the Christian faith and capable of responding to the needs and challenges of the contextual reality in which they find themselves (FSDB-340).
