Salesian Spirituality
A lived and lively tradition inspired by St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) and St. Jane de Chantal (1572-1641). Salesian [Suh-leez-juhn] Spirituality emphasizes common sense and the power of doing little, ordinary, and everyday things for God and others with great passion and great love. It is a down-to-earth way of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
