The Visitation Sisters are not the only heirs of the spirit of St. Francis de Sales. Over the centuries new religious families have emerged in the Church: laity associations or priests, united in this particular way of living the Gospel. Meeting them at Thorens-Glière (birthplace of François de Sales) on the occasion of his four hundred and fiftieth anniversary is an event!
On Monday, May 8, in Thorens-Glières, Salesian families will meet for a great family reunion: the Visitation monasteries, Salesian families and institutes, missionaries, Oblates, priests and laity of the different Salesian families, to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the birth of Francis de Sales. A festive day organized by the Commission of the Salesian families of the diocese of Annecy.
