Mission Statement
Villa Madonna School achieves academic excellence in a family spirit using St. John Bosco's principles of reason, religion, and loving kindness. To become lifelong learners, we work, play, study, and pray. The Salesian Youth Center/Boys and Girls Club is an inclusive youth development organization committed to helping girls and boys develop the character and qualities they need to become responsible citizens and good leaders. The Salesian educational principles of reason, moral values, and loving kindness are the motivating factors used to create for young people, a family-like atmosphere where they feel loved and trusted.
About This Cause
The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco came to Florida in 1933 to work in Ybor City at Most Holy Names Parish. In 1936, Mrs. Alicia Gonzalez Neve deeded her home and property to the Sisters for educational opportunities. Her home on Columbus Drive is named Villa Madonna School, where the Sisters have lived and taught for the past 87years. Located close to downtown Tampa, the school is for children ages Pre-K through 8th grade. In addition to Villa Madonna School, the Salesian Sisters began the Salesian Youth Center in 1995, which is located on Villa Madonna Campus and serves the children of Tampa Heights with an after-school program. The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco is the largest Congregation of religious women in the world, numbering over 11,000 and serving in 98 countries. Their mission is to educate youth and take care of the poor. The Order is growing, with many young women in the vocations program.
