(ANS - Rome) - In Turin’s Don Bosco House Museum, the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, recently inaugurated the year dedicated to Saint Francis de Sales on the 400th anniversary of his death. The content of the Strenna and the in-depth study of the figure of the holy Savoyard bishop during the days of spirituality of the Salesian Family, held in Turin from 13 to 16 January, signaled the beginning of the year dedicated to him. In continuity with these initiatives, the Study Center ‘Opera dei Tabernacoli Viventi’, in collaboration with the Conference of the Salesian Provinces of Italy (CISI) - Formation Sector, is promoting the third meeting of the course "Which Salesians for today's young people?" on the theme "St. Francis de Sales and the Eucharist", to be held Saturday 22 January from 9 to 10:15 a.m. (UTC+1).

Fr Silvio Roggia, of the Salesian Congregation’s Formation Sector, shall interview Fr Morand Wirth, for twenty years a professor at the Institute of Spirituality of the Faculty of Theology of the Salesian Pontifical University (UPS), and discuss several key questions in Salesian spirituality: "What is the treasure in the field, the precious pearl that this centenary can give to the church and in particular to the Salesian family? What was the place of the Eucharist in the mission of Francis de Sales? What was the Eucharist for him, for his journey of Christian life? How did the Eucharist also have to do with love of neighbor for Francis? In his writings, in summary, what are the most important lights he offers for living the Eucharist? What spiritual kinship between Francis de Sales and the Salesian Cooperator Servant of God Vera Grita?"

In addition to these questions, there will be the opportunity live to ask others for those who will attend the live broadcast on the Facebook page of "Don Bosco Italy".
