Organization

The Salesians of Don Bosco are headed by a rector major and the society's general council; each of the ninety-four geographical provinces is headed by a provincial. These officers serve six-year terms; the rector major and the members of the general council are elected by the chapter general, which meets every six years or upon the death of the rector major. Each local Salesian community is headed by a superior, called a rector, who is appointed to a three-year term.
