Salesian Corner
Join us for Salesian Community Mass on September 16 at 10 a.m. in the Nolan Center.
Read one of our recent Loving Life, Living Jesus reflections, by Shakenya Humphries '04.
Take a moment of quiet reflection and sign up for Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament on First Fridays in Visitation's Chapel.
September 11: Salesian Friends Group
Sister Mary Berchmans '48 & '50 and Sister Loretta Fahey lead a monthly discussion with alumnae, current and former parents, faculty, and Sisters to explore the teachings of our founders and share more about the Salesian charism. This year, they're reading Madame de Chantal, an engaging portrait of our strong, loving patroness. Dates and details linked here!
