Mexico - May 2023 - The feast of Mary Help of Christians was joyfully celebrated in the various works and presences of the Salesian Province of Mexico City (MEM), of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (MME). All events were carefully prepared months in advance; the Novena, held worldwide, promoted and animated by the Rector Major, Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime, was very well attended. Several events were prepared at the beginning and during May for the solemn celebration in honor of Mary Help of Christians: the pilgrimage, on May 5, of the Salesian Family of Mexico-South to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe; the feast of St. Domenico Savio on May 6; the May 13 feast of St. Maria Domenica Mazzarello, co-founder of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, a Salesian commemoration that coincides with the feast of the Virgin of Fatima, in addition to prayers throughout the month. This was also the case in the parish of Mary Help of Christians in the City of Puebla de los Ángeles, whose community of religious and faithful organized a wide-ranging program of activities that began on May 15 with the recitation of the Rosary and novena with many popular and communal displays of faith. On the Solemnity of Mary Help of Christians, May 24, a series of Masses were celebrated throughout the day, with the solemn Eucharist presided over by Pastor Fr. Francisco Abonza Contreras, SDB, Director of the Salesian community of María Auxiliadora, which animates several chapels in the area, as well as coordinating and animating the oratories in the city of Puebla. All the groups and associations of the parish community participated in the event. Traditional performances, games, and raffles were also held throughout the day.
