Don Bosco Special - The Basilica of Mary Help of Christians
The Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin-Valdocco is visited by thousands of pilgrims from Italy and abroad. This is particularly evident during the Feasts of Don Bosco and Mary Help of Christians. The Salesians, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, the many friends of Don Bosco, and the entire Salesian Family look upon this Basilica with particular affection.
Over time, in the spirit of its holy founder, it has become a center for the diffusion of Marian spirituality and the propagation of the Preventive System that places the sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation at the center of educational growth.
