class=\"cg-card-role\">seit 2025<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Der Generalobere ist der Obere der Salesianischen Kongregation, die Don Bosco 1859 gegr\u00fcndet hat. Er ist der Bezugspunkt f\u00fcr alle Salesianer in der Welt, die berufen sind, die erzieherische und pastorale Sendung unter den jungen Menschen fortzuf\u00fchren, besonders unter den Bed\u00fcrftigsten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wer er ist und wie er gew\u00e4hlt wird<\/strong><br \/>\n            Der Generalobere wird vom Generalkapitel gew\u00e4hlt, der Versammlung, in der die Vertreter aller salesianischen Provinzen der Welt zusammenkommen. Das Kapitel findet alle sechs Jahre statt und ist der wichtigste Moment im Leben der Kongregation: Man zieht Bilanz \u00fcber die Sendung, legt die Priorit\u00e4ten neu fest und w\u00e4hlt die neue Leitung. Die Amtszeit des Generaloberen betr\u00e4gt sechs Jahre und kann nur einmal verl\u00e4ngert werden.<br \/>\n            Die Kongregation betrachtet ihn als Nachfolger Don Boscos; deshalb wird er von den Salesianern auch \u201eVater\u201c genannt: Das ist kein formeller Titel, sondern Ausdruck der Art von Beziehung, die man innerhalb der salesianischen Familie aufbauen m\u00f6chte.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was er tut<\/strong><br \/>\n            Die Hauptaufgabe des Generaloberen besteht darin, die Kongregation zu beseelen und zu leiten und dabei eine sehr gro\u00dfe Wirklichkeit zusammenzuhalten: Heute sind die Salesianer in mehr als hundert L\u00e4ndern pr\u00e4sent, mit Tausenden von Erziehungseinrichtungen, Pfarreien, Jugendzentren, Schulen und Missionen.<br \/>\n            Konkret ist der Generalobere daf\u00fcr verantwortlich,<br \/>\n            &#8211; die Kongregation in der Treue zum Charisma Don Boscos auszurichten und es den Gegebenheiten der heutigen Welt anzupassen;<br \/>\n            &#8211; die salesianischen Provinzen in der Welt zu besuchen, um das Leben der Gemeinschaften und der jungen Menschen aus der N\u00e4he kennenzulernen;<br \/>\n            &#8211; den Vorsitz im Generalrat zu f\u00fchren, dem Leitungsorgan, das ihm bei den ordentlichen Entscheidungen zur Seite steht;<br \/>\n            &#8211; die Kongregation in den Beziehungen zum Heiligen Stuhl und zu den internationalen Institutionen zu vertreten;<br \/>\n            &#8211; regelm\u00e4\u00dfig Briefe und Mitteilungen an alle Salesianer zu richten, um geistliche und pastorale Orientierung zu geben.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ein Leitungsstil<\/strong><br \/>\n            Don Bosco hat keine starre Institution aufgebaut, sondern eine Familie. Dieser Geist pr\u00e4gt auch die Art und Weise, wie der Generalobere sein Amt aus\u00fcbt: Mehr als ein Verwalter ist er berufen, Erzieher und Vater zu sein, der zuh\u00f6ren, ermutigen und motivieren kann.<br \/>\n            Die salesianischen Konstitutionen beschreiben den Generaloberen als denjenigen, der die f\u00fcr die Methode Don Boscos typische \u201eamorevolezza\u201c, die liebevolle G\u00fcte, lebendig halten soll: jene F\u00e4higkeit, den Menschen nahe zu sein, an die jungen Menschen zu glauben und Beziehungen des Vertrauens aufzubauen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Der Generalobere heute<\/strong><br \/>\n            Derzeit wird die Kongregation geleitet von <strong>Don Fabio ATTARD<\/strong>, der 2025 gew\u00e4hlt wurde.<\/p>\n<p>So verk\u00f6rpert die Gestalt des Generaloberen auch in der heutigen Zeit den einfachen und konkreten Stil Don Boscos: nahe bei den jungen Menschen, verwurzelt im Evangelium, aufmerksam f\u00fcr die Zeichen der Welt.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"psdb-figura\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/consiglio-generale-salesiani-2025-1024x708.webp\" alt=\"Offizielles Foto des Generalrats der Salesianischen Kongregation mit dem Generaloberen Don Fabio Attard, 21.
