Mary Help of Christians Salesian Home in Kyiv, Ukraine

(ANS - Turin) - "We, too, celebrated the Patronal Feast of our house, named after Mary Help of Christians, with Mass and a procession with the painting of Mary Help of Christians: thus the Mistress of the House was able to see all her properties and bless the city of Kyiv, the heart of Ukraine." This was the greeting that came with joyful affection from Ukraine, as well as from many brothers and sisters belonging to the different groups of the Salesian Family scattered around the world, from Burundi to Argentina.

Once again, this year it was possible to see how Mary, Mother of Humanity, a source of joys and support in the travails of every age, does not abandon any of her children, but rather is always a source of affection and thoughts of gratitude throughout her numerous family worldwide.

"Following the Feast of Mary Help of Christians, we collected some testimonies from all over the world of how this happy anniversary was lived and we noticed how unity and closeness to the heart of Don Bosco, who continues to be for all of us Master and Friend in showing us the path outlined and sustained by the two pillars, that is, by Mary and Jesus," testifies Chiara Audasso, Vice-President of the Council of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) of Valdocco.

At the end of what was experienced during these feast days and with hearts filled with joy for the echoes that came from all over the world, all the members of the Salesian Family, and in particular those of the ADMA - whose mission is to foster and spread devotion to Mary Help of Christians - cannot but say they are grateful because, as Don Bosco said, "She did everything," and they cannot but look forward with a spirit of trust, in the certainty that in the future too "She will do everything!"
