Women's Institute
The women's institute is known as the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco or the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.
Visitationist sisters, members of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary, are also sometimes called Salesian Sisters, in honor of one of their founders, Saint Francis de Sales. However, the two societies are not the same and their membership does not overlap.
