A special event for the whole Salesian world took place in early October: Artemide Zatti was proclaimed a saint! Various celebrations, meetings, and festive occasions marked this beautiful occasion.

(ANS - Boretto) - The first presentation of the book "Artemide Zatti salesiano coadiutore - In bicicletta verso il cielo" (Elledici editions) written by Fr. Pierluigi Cameroni, Postulator General for the Causes of Saints of the Salesian Family, took place in Boretto, the town where St. Artemide Zatti was born on October 12, 1880.

Johannesburg, South Africa - December 2022 - Almost two months after the canonizations of Artemide Zatti and Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, the Archbishop of Johannesburg, Msgr. Buti Joseph Tlhagale celebrated a thanksgiving Mass for the new saints. The Archbishop, in particular, wanted to thank the Salesians and Scalabrinians for their tireless work in the Archdiocese and underlined how these two new figures of holiness are a model for many faithful. Artemide Zatti and Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, as stated by Msgr. Tlhagale, show the face of Christ in their attention to the poor, the marginalized and the sick.

(ANS - Rome) - In anticipation of the liturgy of Saint Artemide Zatti on November 13th, the Agency iNfo Salesiana is glad to relaunch those published news items on the subject, which serves as a 'diary' of the canonization of the Saintly Infirmarian.

Buenos Aires, Argentina - December 2022 - On the evening of Thursday, December 1, the first episode of a new documentary entitled "Artemide Zatti, the Nurse of the Poor," a production of the Salesian Bulletin of Argentina, with the support of the two Argentine Provinces and the entire Salesian Congregation, was released in Argentina. The documentary, which can be viewed on the Argentine Salesian Bulletin's YouTube channel, includes numerous interviews and never-before-seen historical material. Filmed between Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Viedma, and Boretto, the documentary allows us to learn more about the man who dedicated himself to caring for the poorest of Argentina's Patagonia, directing one of the first hospitals in the region at a time when public health care did not yet exist. This new work shows that the canonization on Oct. 9 was the beginning of a new journey, introducing the world to this new saint, who showed his way of living the faith and left a legacy of concrete actions so that everyone can follow a simple spiritual path focused on caring for the poorest.

(ANS – Hong Kong) – On different times, dates, and places (in Chinese we call these various places: Three Lands and Two Shores), but with one heart and one soul, the CIN Salesians (Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) celebrated their thanksgiving to God for the wonderful holiness of Salesian Brother Artemide Zatti.
