Argentina – Inauguration in Tellier of the Community Centre and Chapel dedicated to St Artemides Zatti
Tellier, Argentina – November 2024 - With faith in God and great emotion, the Community Centre and Chapel named "Don Artémides Zatti" was inaugurated on Saturday 9 November in Tellier, in the Department of Puerto Deseado. The Chapel was blessed by Fr Darío Perera, Superior of the Province of Argentina South (ARS) on 30 October, on the occasion of his visit to the Salesian house in Desedense. The St Artemides Zatti chapel is a dream come true for which the Rector of the Work, Fr Patrick Warjri, worked tirelessly. Visibly moved, he thanked the families who collaborated in the construction of the House of the Lord that recently opened its doors to bring the Christian faith to the Tellier community. The opening day of the Chapel was attended by the municipal Mayor, Juan Raúl Martínez, the municipal and provincial civil authorities, parish groups, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, the faithful from Pico Truncado, residents of Puerto Deseado and Tellier. The commemorative plaques were unveiled, the Book of Consecration was placed and the faithful present were blessed. The Chapel is dedicated to Saint Artemides Zatti, the Salesian nurse who dedicated himself to the care of the poor and sick of Patagonia. The Community Centre and the Chapel will provide services for the various parish and educational activities that make up the entire Salesian house in Puerto Deseado.
