Director, Visitation Salesian Network

The Director of the Visitation Salesian Network (VSN) is a collaborative, mission-centered leader who partners with the three Visitation schools in the United States, Georgetown (Washington, D.C.), St. Louis, Missouri, and Mendota Heights, Minnesota, to nurture the Visitation Sisters' founding philosophy of educating minds and hearts through the Gospel-based Salesian Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.

For more than thirty-five years, the VSN has cultivated formation programming and strengthened connections among its member schools. As the number of Visitation Sisters of Holy Mary (VHM) continues to decline, this collaborative work has grown increasingly vital: the Network helps students and adults across the three schools learn, experience, and live out the Salesian charism, carrying forward its deeply relational spirit.
