While our web site was designed to give you information about our Order as a whole, you also may keep abreast of current news in each individual monastery and learn more about its unique interpretation of the Visitation charism.

Through this web site, you will learn about our ministries and our Salesian spirituality. You will find a list of suggested readings in case you wish to learn more about the life and teachings of our founders, St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal. For your information, DeSales Resource Center is offering the newly reprinted book, Madame de Chantal, by Elizabeth Stopp, undoubtedly one of the best biographies of St. Jane de Chantal ever written.
