Journeying with the young towards fullness of life!
We, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians also known as the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco were founded in 1872 by Don Bosco and Maria Domenica Mazzarello, through the direct intervention of Mary and as a response to the profound hopes and aspirations of young people (C1). We belong to a vast movement known as Salesian Family. We are dedicate and commit ourselves to educating and serving young people of all ages especially the poor and marginalised. We do this in the educative style of Don Bosco`s Preventive System based on Reason, Religion and Loving Kindness. We also assist women and young people at risk and accompany them in their search for meaning in life. Our Institute numbers nearly 14,100 world-wide and is the second largest Community of Religious Women in the world. We are consecrated to God, unafraid of confronting the challenges encountered in the world of youth. A simple but deep prayer life, a strong community life, and a youth-centered ministry energise us to face life’s challenges in order to bring about a more just and humane society.
