Just over a month since the Canonization of Artemide Zatti, we delve into five figures who inspire one to take the path to Holiness.

(ANS -Aramengo) - Last August 15, in the burgh of Marmorito Santa Maria di Aramengo (Asti), his place of origin, an afternoon was held dedicated to Cleric Giovanni Massaglia (May 1, 1838 - May 20, 1856), Witness of the Faith, pupil of St. John Bosco and friend of St. Dominic Savio.

(ANS - Krakow) - From 6 to 8 May, in honor of St. Dominic Savio, a new edition of "Savionalia" was held, the feast of the young people of the Poland-Krakow Province (PLS). The appointment represented an opportunity for rebirth for this kind of provincial youth initiatives, after the time of the pandemic, as well as a glimmer of light and celebration at a time when Salesians and young people from all over the country feel the pain and suffering of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.

Aleksandrów Kujawski, Poland - May 2022 - Three days of joy, prayer, competition, fun, meetings, and a community atmosphere: in a nutshell, the fruit of an entire year's work and a stimulus for the future. This was the XXVII Feast of St. Dominic Savio for Ministrants of the Salesian Province of Piła (PLN), which took place in Aleksandrów Kujawski, from April 29 to May 1, and saw the participation of 233 Ministrants accompanied by 38 Salesians and over 50 volunteers. The event was held under the patronage of the mayor of Aleksandrów Kujawski, Mr. Arkadiusz Gralak, and was prepared, under the guidance of Fr Krzysztof Tomeczkowski, SDB, by representatives of both Salesian communities in the city, those responsible for sports, logistics, housing, and media. The meeting began with Mass in the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians and the traditional March for Jesus to the "Kolegium Kujawskie" where a cheerful evening was enjoyed by all. On Saturday there were athletic competitions, formation meetings, a concert, and the awards ceremony. On Sunday, after Mass, a football tournament was held with great emotional involvement and a healthy competitive spirit, shared not only by the players but also by the coaches and fans. The organizers expressed great satisfaction with the success of the meeting: "Once again we managed to awaken and discover the potential that lies dormant in the ministrants. The large number of represented communities is very encouraging".

Lisbon, Portugal - 1951 - On April 1, 1951, a monument dedicated to Dominic Savio was inaugurated in the courtyard of the "Oficinas de São José" Institute in Lisbon. It was a moment of celebration and great participation, which saw the presence of many students and faithful.

Last April 2, we commemorated the 180th anniversary of the birth of Saint Dominic Savio. If the biography of the young saint is widely known, less well known is that of his friend Giovanni Massaglia. It is described in the April edition of the Salesian Bulletin.
