Mission Statement
The Visitation Religion Department is rooted in the Roman Catholic faith tradition and strengthened by the shared vision of Salesian spirituality inspired by the founders of the Visitation, St. Jane de Chantal and St. Francis de Sales. In collaboration with their families, the mission of the department is to make Jesus Christ known, loved, and served in the lives of the students that they may do the same in their own lives and relationships.
