Present in 5 Regions of Haiti
The Salesians arrived in Haiti in 1936 at the request of President Sténio Vincent. After over 80 years of work in the country, they currently serve in 5 regions of the country, with a strong presence in Port-au-Prince, especially in the neighborhoods of La Saline and Cité Soleil.
Stewarded by 11 Salesian Communities
These works are administered by communities of priests and brothers of the Salesians of Don Bosco, a Catholic religious order founded in 1859. The Salesian charism is to be a “sign and bearer of the love of God for young people, especially those who are poor.”
