Italy - Basilica of Mary Help of Christians: St. John Bosco's Feast Day

03 February 2021

Turin, Italy - January 2021 - On January 31 at the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin - Valdocco, the celebrations in honor of the "saint of young people" were held throughout the day, featuring Mass at 9.30 presided by the Archbishop of Turin, Msgr. Cesare Nosiglia, and at 6.30 pm with the presence of the Vicar of the Rector Major of the Salesians, Fr Stefano Martoglio, with the usual Mass dedicated to the Salesian Youth Movement. The word of Jesus and His lifestyle are not an invitation to say a series of no, but they indicate the true way of the yes, which can fully fulfill even the impossible dreams considered humanly unattainable. (Mons. Cesare Nosiglia - From the homily for the feast of Don Bosco). Each of us here has a special relationship with Don Bosco, and we normally call it that; but the special relationship is to find oneself within one's own story of salvation, within one's own DNA, within one's genealogy, this great Saint, this great believer. (Fr Stefano Martoglio - From the homily for the feast of Don Bosco).
