Welcome Fr. Gus!

As you may have already read, Father Mark Hyde is leaving as director of Salesian Missions in order to fulfill a new assignment as pastor of two Salesian parishes in Harvey, Louisiana. Please join us in welcoming Father Gus Baek as his successor.

In honor of Fr. Mark’s dedicated service on behalf of the world’s most impoverished families—
and to welcome Fr. Gus—we invite you to make a special gift in their honor.

No matter the amount, your gift today pays homage to Fr. Mark’s 11-year legacy. Think of it as a thank you for a job well done—and assurance that Fr. Gus will steward that legacy well into the future, as we know he will.

Best of luck, Fr. Mark—and welcome, Fr. Gus! The entire Salesian Missions family appreciates you both.

“Although I won’t be here in New Rochelle, I will continue to watch, support and pray for the exceptional work Salesian Missions will accomplish with Fr. Gus at the helm. Please join me in welcoming him into his season as director, and know how grateful I am for the opportunity to have served you.”
