Who We Are    

       The Association of Past Pupils of the Salesian Sisters, which is recognized  as a member of the Salesian Family, is a lay group, promoted by the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters) .

         It is made up of men and women who have been educated in any work of the Salesian Sisters,  irrespective of their religious, cultural, social or ethnic background. Membership is also open to those who though not educated by the Salesian Sisters, have become aware of Salesian values and have assumed them in their own lives, through an appropriate formation process.

Spirituality of the Past Pupils of the FMA

         The spirituality of the FMA Past Pupils is based upon the Preventive System of Don Bosco, expressed by the “reason – religion – kindness” trinomial, re-proposed in an integral educational project reflecting the most authentic human aspirations: the quest for truth, the need of God, the opening to reciprocity-based relationships.

       Furthermore, the spirituality is enhanced by the charisma in the lifestyle and actions of Maria Domenica Mazzarello who, in her feminine way, shared with Don Bosco the educational project inspired by Mary:  “to take care …”, living her daily life in simplicity and joy, marking the slightest gesture with the experience of God, testifying and promoting the culture of life and solidarity within the community.
