The focus of this ministry is the in-depth study and dissemination of the spirituality and 21st century legacy of two exceptional seventeenth century saints: St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) St. Jane de Chantal (1572-1641) Together, these two saints are the source of a unique spiritual tradition called "Salesian Spirituality" which is intended for all believers, no matter their position in life. Especially appropriate for those living very busy lives, Salesian spirituality challenges a person to be who they are and to be that well - not as angels but as good men and women. It is a spirituality for those who share their lives with family, friends and working associates, those who choose to embrace the depths of the human heart, and those who choose to Live Jesus in this world. |
