Province of Mater Ecclesiae
Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco · Guwahati, India
With Mary, we pledge ourselves to God — a life-giving presence among the young of Northeast India.
Our Charismatic Vision
We are a Religious Family born from the heart of St. John Bosco and from the creative fidelity of St. Mary Domenica Mazzarello.
The Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, consecrated to God to serve Jesus Christ in community, dedicate their life to the human, Christian, and Salesian education of young people.
Don Bosco chose for them Mary, Help of Christians, who knew how to incarnate and live the pedagogy of "taking care" — which concretizes their educative passion for the young.
"Through a gift of the Holy Spirit and with the direct intervention of Mary, St. John Bosco founded our Institute as a response of salvation to the profound hopes of girls and young women."
