Associates of the Visitation of Brooklyn

“Fix your mind on God and yourself; never see apart from His Goodness, nor yourself apart from your miseries.”

— ST. FRANCIS DE SALES
 

VISITATION ASSOCIATES

Brooklyn Visitation Associates are Christians coming together from different walks of life to share in the deepening our spiritual lives according to the vision for Christian renewal of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal.

The Visitation Sisters’ heritage is offered to those who wish to join with them through the Associate Program. In the tradition and teachings of St. Francis and St. Jane, the Associates participate in a program of study and ministry.

The Visitation Associates are living embodiments of St. Francis de Sales’ affirmation and St. Jane de Chantal’s experience that the devout life can be lived in every form of life in the church.
