Can women become Salesians of Don Bosco?
No. But they can form part of a sister organization that goes by the name of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA). They were founded by Don Bosco and St Mary Mazarello in 1872, and they share the same spirit, charism and mission of the Salesians of Don Bosco. Their specific mission is the care of girls and young women, especially those who are poorer. At present in West Africa they are only in French speaking countries.
