Love Matters

Lifestyle & Relationship Programme

LoveMatters is a Monday-to-Friday residential educational programme for teenagers, hosted at the Don Bosco Centre near Walkerville, Gauteng.

The programme offers young people a safe, structured and faith-rooted environment to explore relationships, personal identity, responsibility, and life choices in a meaningful way.

Facilitated by Salesians of Don Bosco, trained peer ministers, and invited professionals, LoveMatters combines education, reflection, discussion, recreation, and spiritual growth.

Purpose of the Programme

LoveMatters aims to help young people grow:

  • Healthy in mind and body

  • Happy in their sense of identity and self-worth

  • Free to make responsible life choices

  • Grounded in strong values

  • Hopeful about their future

The programme offers values-based sexuality education that encourages young people to appreciate the dignity of human life, the meaning of love, and the importance of commitment within marriage.
