Saints in the Institute

Holiness has germinated very simply throughout our history. It is a joyful holiness, full of love for young people.

St. Maria Domenica Mazzarello led the way. She was canonized on 26th June 1951.

Others followed in her footsteps:

Sister Teresa Valse Pantellini

1878 - 1907 venerable

She renounced a comfortable life for the 'Da mihi animas' (give me souls) of Don Bosco. The poorest young girls experienced her love.

Mother Madelena Morano

1847 - 1908

servant of God

She lived her mission among the young people with great enthusiasm. She gave herself completely to others, living her service of authority with the understanding of one who truly knows the heart of God.
