Serving the church...
Our patron, Saint Francis de Sales, designed what has become known as Salesian Spirituality. This is a great tradition in the church, and it is specifically geared for lay people. The primary way we Oblates share this charism, or spiritual gift, is through our ministries. We are proud to serve the church in a variety ways. Here, we have listed the parishes and schools where we work with the People of God to “Live Jesus” and advance the Gospel in the gentle and humble spirit of Saint Francis de Sales.
