Margheritas Guild

The Margheritas Guild is a community of women connected to St. John Bosco High School—mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and female friends—all are welcome. Named in honor of Margherita Occhiena Bosco, affectionately known as Mama Margaret, the Guild draws inspiration from her spirit of care and dedication. As the mother of Don Bosco, Mama Margaret played a vital role in his mission to serve youth, turning his Oratory into a home filled with compassion and support.

The Margheritas Guild continues this tradition by offering acts of service and appreciation for the faculty, staff, and coaches of St. John Bosco High School, while also building opportunities for women in our community to connect and support one another during their time at Bosco.

All are welcome to attend monthly Margheritas Guild meetings, which offer opportunities to connect, share, and support the Bosco community. To help make our gatherings and appreciation efforts possible, we ask for a minimum annual contribution of $25 (fully tax-deductible) beginning July 1, 2025 for the 2025–26 school year. This contribution supports Guild efforts such as the faculty and staff appreciation luncheons, the Guild’s commemorative pin, and a variety of Guild-hosted social and service events like wine tastings and Coffee and Conversation mornings.

Whether you're new to the Bosco family or have been part of the community for years, there’s a place for you in the Margheritas Guild. We look forward to welcoming you!

The Margheritas Guild is a wonderful way to connect with other mothers and participate in our sons’ high school journey. The bonds we created were rivaled only by the bonds our sons were forming.
