Our Community

Living and working together, in the name of the Lord, is an essential element of our vocation. In forming one heart and one soul, our community life fuels our missionary zeal to proclaim the Word of God to all we encounter.

Our Spirituality

We believe that holiness is attainable for everyone if we "do the right thing, at the right time, for the love of God." We are active contemplatives and live by the spirituality entrusted to our founders St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello.

Our Mission

Our mission is rooted in the very heart of Christ Himself, and finds its model in Mary’s motherly care. Through our educational presence with and among the young, we strive to become for them - signs of God's foreseeing love and presence.
