The Salesian presence in Senglea is only in its initial stages. Right at the edge of the Senglea peninsula one finds a beautiful church dedicated to Our Lady of Safe Haven and an adjacent cloister named after St Philip Neri which dates back to the 17th century. At the invitation of the Archbishop the Salesians replaced the Jesuits, who retired due to lack of personnel, in October 2008.

Besides the pastoral ministry and the celebration of the sacraments administered from this Church, the Salesians have undertaken to open a Youth Centre according to their tradition. The aim is to provide young people with a space to entertain themselves away from possible harm and offer them opportunities for growth.

With the help of leaders from other salesian presences we are trying to stimulate the members to discover their talents and use them for their own satisfaction and progress. Our main aim, as in all other salesian presences, is to form good christians and honest citizens.
