Mama Margaret, a True Salesian Hero It has been 150 years since Mama Margaret died. The intensity of her virtue has been recognized by the church, and she has been declared a servant of God. This year our Rector Major, Fr. Pascual Chavez, SDB, has asked that the Salesian family pray fervently for her cause of beatification and canonization. We invite you to join in this prayer.
