| Jason Erhardt was a young Salesian leader. He died suddenly in 1997, after graduating from Don Bosco Tech in Paterson, just days before he was to begin college. Named in Jason's memory, the Salesian Youth Ministry College Scholarship has been established to recognize and assist young Salesian leaders in college, while giving them the opportunity to remain involved with, and connected to, the Salesians! |
