France – The celebration of the Feast of Mary Help of Christians and the 140th anniversary of the Chapel at La Navarre
La Crau, France – May 2024 – The Feast of Mary Help of Christians at the Salesian La Navarre work had a special meaning this year, since the 140th anniversary of the blessing of the Chapel of the work by Don Bosco himself, who visited it during a stay in France, was celebrated on the same day. The celebration was presided over by Bishop François Marie Pierre Touvet, Coadjutor Bishop of Fréjus-Toulon, who in the homily invited those present to become "builders of fraternity". Also present for the occasion was the Fr Jean-Marie Petitclerc, President of the "La Navarre Foundation", who opened the day by explaining the Dream at Nine Years of age and recounting the arrival of Don Bosco in this house, on 24 May 1884.
