St John Bosco Church

What St John Bosco Church does

St. John Bosco Catholic Church is a Salesian parish of the Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1983 and located at 2114 Oakmere Drive in Harvey, Louisiana. It serves the West Bank community of the greater New Orleans metropolitan area under the Archdiocese of New Orleans and is staffed by Salesians of Don Bosco priests (Pastor Fr. Mark Hyde, sdb, and Parochial Vicar Fr. George Hanna, S.D.B.). The parish is named after Saint John Bosco, founder of the Salesian order, and follows the Salesian charism of prayer, community, education, and service to youth.

Its core offerings center on the Catholic liturgical and sacramental life: a Saturday vigil Mass, three Sunday Masses (including an 8 PM Youth & Young Adult Mass), weekday daily Mass, scheduled Confessions, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick), and 112 hours of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. Religious education is delivered through the Parish Religious Education Program (P.R.E.P.) for grades 1-8 and the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). Youth and community programming spans the Savio Youth program (grades 3-7), a Teen Youth Ministry with co-directors, and parish apostolates including the Knights of Columbus, Men's Club, Women's Society, Rosary Prayer Group, Salesian Cooperators, Parish Choirs, and Altar Servers.

The business model is nonprofit and donation-based: there is no charge for services, and revenue is derived entirely from voluntary tithes, in-pew collections, and online donations processed through the OSV Hub portal. Engagement is driven through the parish website (eCatholic platform), Facebook, YouTube, weekly bulletins, and an email newsletter. The church building features a nave, campanile, and a Spanish gold-plated tabernacle crafted in Madrid. Technology adoption is limited to standard parish SaaS tools (eCatholic site, OSV Hub giving, AdorationServants.org scheduling), with no mobile app, API, proprietary platform, or AI/ML capability disclosed.
