Next May 24 will mark the feast day of Mary Help of Christians, an anniversary particularly awaited by Salesians and members of the Salesian Family around the world.

(ANS - Rome) - Just a dozen days remaining until the Feast Day of Mary Help of Christians, and just three until the beginning of the novena in her honor. Thus, while the entire Salesian world is preparing to live this feast so important for the heirs of Don Bosco - with the hope, this year, of being able to live it again in many parts of the world with popular in-person celebrations and festivities - the preparations for the World Novena promoted by the Salesian Headquarters for all members of the Salesian Family are also advancing at a rapid pace.

On April 12, 1846, Easter Sunday, the Tettoia Pinardi was inaugurated, which was to become the small chapel where Don Bosco's activities were concentrated in the early years. On September 2 of the same year, Don Bosco purchased a papier-mâché statue of Mary Our Lady of Consolation (popularly known as the Consolata), Patroness of Turin.

(ANS - Rome) - On the occasion of the Feast Day of Mary Help of Christians 2022, the videos and booklets accompanying the World Novena to Mary Help of Christians (15th-23rd May) promoted by the Salesian Headquarters shall be made available to all members of the Salesian Family who intend to prepare themselves adequately for this event.

Granada, Nicaragua - 1912 - On March 22, 1912, 110 years ago, the first Salesians arrived in Granada: Fr Giuseppe Dini, the seminarian Jorge Müller and the Salesian coadjutor Stefano Tosini. Here, they immediately began their mission in favor of young people. Fr Dini wrote: "When we arrived in Granada, the city already belonged to Mary Help of Christians". In this old photograph, in fact, the façade of the Chapel of Mary Help of Christians in Granada is depicted.

(ANS - Seville) - The youngest and most talented chefs on television returned to the Spanish network "La 1" giving an excellent representation of the Salesian spirit. The casting of the ninth edition of “MasterChef Junior” in fact included among the competitors Pablo and Sara, two students from the Salesian centers of Triana and Trinidad, in Seville, who were able to convey the same enthusiasm and values ​​that they breathe at school.
