Italy – Feast of St Artemide Zatti at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Rome
Rome, Italy - 13th November 2023 - To celebrate the liturgical memory of St. Artemide Zatti, and just over a year after his canonization, the Salesian Headquarters, the Salesian Pontifical University (UPS) and the Salesian Circumscription of Central Italy (ICC) organized an afternoon of festivities in his honour at the Sacred Heart basilica in Rome - a place that Br. Zatti himself visited when he returned to Italy in 1934 for the canonization of Don Bosco. The event was attended by the Director of the Salesian Headquarters, Fr Francesco Marcoccio;dd the Superior of the UPS Vice province, Fr Aníbal Mendonça; the entire community of the Salesian Theological Studentate "Blessed Zeffirino Namuncurà" of the UPS, led by its Director, Fr Silvio Roggia, and many Salesians from the houses in Rome. The event opened with a Rosary animated by the Salesian coadjutors and continued with the Mass presided over by Fr Marcoccio, who, in his homily, recalled Zatti's biography, his youthful illness and his Salesian lay vocation, as well as his spirit of service and serene acceptance of God's will until the end of his life. After the sharing of seven different testimonies on various aspects of Zatti's holiness - through which his being a 'Good Samaritan' to all was recalled - the afternoon celebration concluded with a moment of fraternal agape.
