In San Antonio, the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco, affectionately dubbed the ‘Spurs Sisters,’ have become a beloved presence at Spurs games, where they pray courtside for the team’s success. As the Spurs prepare for Game 7 against Oklahoma City, the sisters have chosen to remain in San Antonio, celebrating with the community while continuing their mission.

Faith and Community Engagement

Sydney Moss, the vocation director at St. John Bosco, emphasized that the attention the sisters have received highlights their broader purpose. ‘We’re super blessed and humbled that now more people know about Salesian sisters, that we’re not just the Spurs nuns, but that we work with young people,’ Moss explained. ‘That is our whole mission, to lead young people closer to Christ, and part of that means loving what young people love. So we get to play basketball with them, watch basketball with them. And it’s just, it’s a lot of fun.’

The sisters’ involvement with the Spurs is not just about basketball; it’s a way to connect with the youth and share their faith. Their presence at games has garnered significant support from the community, and they are hopeful that the Spurs will advance to the NBA Finals.

Community Support and Mission

Over the past few weeks, the sisters have experienced an outpouring of support from the San Antonio community. Their commitment to their mission of working with young people and fostering a love for Christ through shared interests like basketball has resonated with many. As they continue to pray for the Spurs’ success, the sisters remain dedicated to their role as mentors and spiritual guides for the youth of San Antonio.

The Salesian Sisters’ story is a testament to the power of faith and community engagement, demonstrating how shared passions can bring people together and support a greater mission.
