Turin, Italy - November 2021 - The first meeting of the new Presidency Council of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA), elected on October 24, during the 31st Marian Day, was held in Valdocco on Saturday 13 November. The new council, chaired by Renato Valera, met and began working on an Action Plan prepared by the outgoing team, which, as a "legacy" and a gift, left a reflection on the association's journey over the last four years and on what it is important to preserve, what is important to grow, the points of attention and projects that have been undertaken. Many of the new councilors highlighted the importance of the Valdocco council’s role to rest of the whole association in the world. They reinstated the importance of the entrustment to Mary, the centrality of the journey of faith anchored to the two columns of the Eucharist and Mary, simplicity in style and organization, the centrality of communion in relationships, hospitality, the importance of prayer and formation, the accompaniment of families and young people with their families, the dimension of attention to the weak and the working-class, and finally the strengthening of Salesian identity and charism. In addition, various specific responsibilities were also assigned to the new councilors, designed with a view to serving the mission.
