A message from the Salesian Studies Office:

Visitation School’s Salesian Network chose love as the virtue for the 2024-2025 school year. Love, the sacred, abundant gift from God. Love, the heart of the Salesian virtues. Love, what we are called to share, without bounds, with each other. As we celebrate the 350th Jubilee of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque’s visions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus this year, we are reminded of God’s overwhelming love for us and our call to love our neighbor.

For Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane de Chantal, the center of living out Visitation’s charism is love. “At the very heart of Salesian Spirituality is the living experience of love – love from God to each person, love from every person to God, and love of those with whom we live and serve each day.” As we begin a new school year together, may we recognize this ever present love in every person and in God’s creation, and renew our invitation to participate in God’s bond of perfect love.

Saint Francis de Sales, pray for us.
Saint Jane de Chantal, pray for us.
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us.

Live Jesus!
