SALESIAN SISTERS MISSION APPEAL
-
August 15, 2022The Salesian Sisters are a worldwide Community counting about 12,000 Sisters spreading the Gospel on every Continent. Many of their Sisters work strictly in mission areas affected by great poverty, diseases, political unrest, violence, war and other difficult conditions, such as, areas of natural disaster and refugee camps.
The Salesian Sisters were founded by St. John Bosco in 1872 and started their mission work in 1877 when they departed from Italy for the farthest tip of South America called Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Ever since, they have continued to provide missionaries for Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific Islands and other places not yet evangelized or in need of re-evangelization.
Their Congregation was specifically founded for the service of poor youth; consequently, most of their ministries will have an educational thrust. They are grateful for the opportunity of sharing their mission work here at St. Vincent and of benefiting from your generosity.
