At the end of the celebration, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Salesian presence on the site where the "Santo Antônio" Institute stands today, each Salesian present donated a rose at the foot of the statue of Mary Help of Christians, leading a procession of students who repeated the gesture until a total of 125 roses were delivered as a sign of gratitude. Finally, Fr.
