Also called Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, they were founded in 1872 by Don Bosco and Mary Domenica Mazzarello.
Today, they are 16 230 around the world and they beam with the joy of living. They are women totally for the Lord, at the service of young people, especially the most unfortunate. We find them in 88 countries in the world.
They are women like all other women in the world. Women in the colors of the five continents deeply rooted in their native land or their adopted land. In their eyes and in their hearts these women carry the profound hopes and aspirations of all peoples. Women consecrated by God for the service of young people linked in a bond of love by their vows, they live happily for and with young people, seeking only their salvation in Jesus Christ.
