Mission

The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco work with and for poor youth throughout the world! Through education and formation, we seek to bring Christ closer to the young so they can live a deeper, more courageous relationship with Him.

Living the Preventive System of our Founder St. John Bosco and Co-Foundress St. Mary Mazzarello, our mission of evangelization aims to form "honest citizens and good Christians" in true Salesian spirituality: centered on the Holy Eucharist, devoted to Mary, and faithful to the Church’s Magisterium.

Our apostolates in North America include schools, camps, retreat ministries, oratories, parish education, day care, youth centers, young adult ministry, and more.

Qualifications

Single, never married, Catholic women in good physical, mental, and psychological health, with a high school diploma or GED.
