Service

No checking a box. 
Only serving the community. 

At Salesianum, service projects focus more on building real connections than accumulating hours. 

Rooted in the Gospel, the principles of Catholic social teaching, and the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, our four-year service expectations support the community in meaningful ways. By helping the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable, students emerge as Salesian Gentlemen with true servant mentalities.

Experience “Living Jesus” for yourself.

Whether you schedule a tour or attend one of our events, it only takes one visit to see why young men and their families are choosing Salesianum.
Salesianum School educates and develops the whole person based on the teaching of Saint Francis de Sales, whose spirituality can be summarized in “Live Jesus.” As an independent Catholic secondary school founded by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in 1903, Salesianum challenges young men through dynamic college preparatory and extracurricular programs to live as Salesian Gentlemen devoted to faith, community, and service.
