(ANS - Buenos Aires) - Twelve thousand kilometers separate the town of Boretto, in the Province of Reggio-Emilia, Italy, from the city of Bahia Blanca, in the southern part of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Like millions of families at the time, the "Zatti" emigrated to America in search of better living conditions. A new landscape, a new culture, and a new language welcomed a young Artemide, a saint who lived some of the dreams and hardships, the longings and joys, experienced by every migrant who leaves their homeland.

(ANS - Rome) - The official program of events organized by the Salesian Congregation on the occasion of the canonization of Salesian coadjutor Artemide Zatti has been published. In addition to the central act of the rite of canonization, which will be presided over by Pope Francis on Sunday, October 9, 2022, other important events are planned for the days immediately preceding and following.

Letter from the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, a few days before the canonisation of Artemide Zatti (9 October 2022).

(ANS - Buenos Aires) - In view of the canonization of Artemide Zatti, SDB, we share some articles of reflection and investigation on some traits of the future saint, prepared by the Salesian Bulletin of Argentina, the country where "the relative of the poor" lived his entire Salesian life.

"There are as many stories of faith as there are believers, since each one gives himself with his own personality."

(ANS - Rome) - Animating a historic event for the Salesian Congregation and Family, such as the canonization of Artemide Zatti, requires an image and a phrase that are able to accompany on the path of preparation and during the event itself.
