Asti, Italy - December 2022 – On 8 December, the Salesian work in Asti concluded the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the Don Bosco Parish's foundation, currently led by parish priest Fr. Jacek Jankosz. The day began with a greeting from Salesian Community Rector Fr. Genesio Tarasco, who emphasized "How much good, how much of God's grace has been lavished in this ward, especially in favor of so many young people, whom the sons of Don Bosco have met on their way." The Eucharist was celebrated, presided by Msgr. Marco Prastaro, bishop of Asti, concelebrated by Bishop Emeritus Msgr. Francesco Ravinale and the bishop's chancellor, Deacon Natale Campanella. Various civil authorities, FMA and a large number of people were present. At the end of the celebration, the bishop uncovered, set on a corner column of the church, a tile-shaped fragment of the foundation stone of what was the parish church 60 years ago. Then on the parish churchyard, the "Marian Circle" followed in memory of the Hail Mary recited by Don Bosco in the sacristy of the church of St. Francis of Assisi in Turin with Bartolomeo Garelli, from Asti, on December 8, 1841.
