The first Salesian Sisters set foot on African soil at Oran in Algeria on December 16,
1893. Two years previously the Salesians had established a community there. The
Sisters faced great poverty when they opened the oratory-youth centre which
immediately welcomed all the girls and young women of the place. They set up
sewing classes and became involved in catechism lessons and other tasks in the
parish.
