Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I do to find out whether God wants me to become a Salesian Sister?

  • Pray about it.
  • Ask a Salesian Sister about her work and what it is like to live with a group of women who are committed to the same vision.
  • If this is not possible, write to:
    Salesian Sisters
    43 George Street, Scoresby
    VIC 3179, Australia                    

2. It is possible to spend some time with the Sisters?

Yes, it is.

A request is made to the Sisters in one's suburb or nearest convent, to live with them for a week-end or even longer.

This will give you and ourselves the time to talk and you may also share in what we are doing at the time.

3. After having experienced the above, what should I do if I feel that God is calling me, to live as a Salesian Sister?

You would make contact with a Salesian Sister who could accompany you, by way of frequent encounters, in this initial discerning of what God wants you to do with your life, before a more formal training programme begins.
