Through the year with St. Francis de Sales



Meet the humanness of the Saint and the saintliness of the human, meditating daily with the Master of Devotion and the Doctor of Love.





SALESIAN YEAR 2008: The Year 2008 marks the completion of 400 years of the publication of the great spiritual classic, The Introduction to the Devout Life (ITDL) written by our Patron, St. Francis de Sales. It has perennial appeal that takes the human heart to God and makes God the heart of all our relationships and endeavours.
