(ANS – Turin) – Visitors to the Salesian Motherhouse in Turin-Valdocco over recent weeks will have noticed significant construction works underway. Most notably, the square in front of the basilica is undergoing renovations. Additionally, scaffolding indicates restoration work on both towers and the basilica roof. There was an urgent need to stabilize the two bell towers and, especially, to almost completely renew the statues of the Virgin Mary and two angels, as corrosion from exhaust gases and weather had severely damaged some statues.
(ANS - Valencia) - In addition to fully participating in the solidarity work and contributing food, materials and money, in the current emergency situation due to the passage of the Depression Isolated at High Altitude (DANA, in Spanish), Salesian presences are supporting all the work of recovery, helping each young person to bring out the best in themselves. Salesian schools in Valencia are also welcoming students from the most affected areas of the city into their classrooms.
(ANS – Rome) - Today, a vibrant and immediate visual representation of the more complex message of the Strenna has been released: the poster that encapsulates the themes guiding the Salesian Family throughout 2025, the jubilee year. With a rich palette of colors, clear lines, and evident ecclesial and Salesian references, the poster graphically conveys the essence of this special Strenna, conceived by Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime and developed by Fr Stefano Martoglio, who will fully present it at the end of the year under the theme: “Anchored in Hope, Pilgrims with Young People.”
