(ANS – Rome) – The Superior General of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians is henceforth Grand Chancellor of the Pontifical Faculty of Educational Sciences “Auxilium” in Rome. The Holy Father Francis approved the proposal in the audience granted to the Excellent Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, on 2 November 2021. The official communication bears no. 853/2021 of the protocol. The Grand Chancellor is therefore Mother Chiara Cazzuola, current Superior General of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA).

Since 1970, when the International Higher Institute of Pedagogy and Religious Sciences of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, founded in 1954, aggregated in 1964, and then incorporated in 1966 to the Higher Institute of Pedagogy of the Salesian Pontifical Athenaeum, became the first Pontifical Faculty entrusted to a female religious institute. The Grand Chancellor was the Rector Major of the Salesian Society of St. John Bosco. The Vice Grand Chancellor was the Superior General of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.

The Principal of the “Auxilium” Faculty, Prof. Piera Ruffinatto, on behalf of the entire academic community, thanks the Holy Father “for this recognition, as an act of esteem and trust in the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians” and assures Mother Chiara Cazzuola “collaboration to continue to qualify and give impetus to the cultural mission of the Faculty at the service of the universal Church and the Institute”.

The Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians expresses its gratitude to Fr Ángel Fernández Ártime, Rector Major of the Salesian Society of St John Bosco, until now Grand Chancellor and in him, to all his predecessors who with availability and foresight, have encouraged and accompanied over the years the mission of the Faculty in the panorama of the Pontifical Academic Institutions, in its identity and vocation to promote ‘a culture of life’, to form professionals in the field of education.
