History
Don Bosco Provincial House was set up at 75, North Road, Bangalore on 31st July 1979 and was canonically erected on 14th December of the same year. But due to constraints of living space, paucity of guest rooms and halls adequate enough for a Provincial House, a new building was constructed and blessed in 2002 on a site in Milton’s street, Bangalore. The old building now accommodates the Propaganda Mission Office and BREADS (Bangalore Rural Educational and Development Society), the Development Office of the Province.
