Inspired by the charism of Saint John Bosco, a Salesian parish encourages the faithful to reflect on God's action in their lives by discerning his presence. We seek to foster lay leadership and personal faith. We Salesians want to respond to the community's pastoral needs by seeking opportunities for service, especially the poor and needy young people. Saint Mary's Parish was entrusted to the Salesians of Don Bosco in 1965. Our presence integrates the Salesian Youth Center, Saint Mary's School, and collaborates with the Bishop Mora High School. We nurture devotion to Mary, our Mother. Here in Boyle Heights under the love of the Virgin of Guadalupe. We, Salesians, embrace the love to Mary Help of Christians who bring us closer to Jesus. We remember her words, "Do what she tells you," and we make this invitation our own. Our parish has as its center a community of Salesians to whom the Church entrusts its mission of proclaiming the Kingdom of God and education for the faith. Welcome to the Salesian Parish of Saint Mary's!
