(ANS - Turin) - Among the hundreds of thousands of faithful who yesterday morning, January 30, 2022, watched the Rai 1 live TV broadcast of the Mass presided over by the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, from Valdocco, there was also Pope Francis. He said it himself, overlooking St. Peter's Square, immediately after the recitation of the Angelus: “On the eve of the feast day of St. John Bosco, I’d like to greet the Salesians, who do so much good in the Church. I followed the Mass celebrated in the shrine of Mary Help of Christians by the Rector Major, Ángel Fernández Artime; I prayed with him for everyone.”

(ANS - Turin) - The feast day of Don Bosco in the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin-Valdocco has a particular significance in 2022 because of the 400th anniversary of the birth in Heaven of Saint Francis de Sales (1622-2022). Don Bosco chose him as patron and model for his children, to whom he gave the name of "Salesians".

«‘Salesian’ is synonymous with ‘living for others.’ This is how we know our Salesians here. Thus they are. Thus they live».

(ANS - San Benito Petén) - The city of San Benito Petén, in Guatemala, hosts an important Salesian mission, strongly rooted in the territory and appreciated by the local population, mostly poor people, because they are committed to bringing development and authentic evangelization. This is how the Feast Day of Don Bosco was experienced.
