Mary Help of Christians Center, Tampa

Mary Help of Christians Center is a Catholic apostolate of the Salesians of Don Bosco. It is modeled after the Oratory of Valdocco in Turin, Italy, which was founded by St. John Bosco in 1846. The Oratory is a place where all come to know Jesus Christ and where young people discover their calling in life. It is a pastoral experience in which Salesians spend their time with youth welcoming, evangelizing, preparing them for life and enabling friends to meet and have fun.
