Together towards the Feast of Mary Help of Christians
| 
Devotion to Mary Help of Christians is a fundamental element in the life and work of Don Bosco, which became part of him in a gradual manner and with ever-increasing consciousness as the years went by. Fr. Pierluigi Cameroni is the Postulator General of the causes of saints of the Salesian Family and Spiritual Animator of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA). On the vigil of the Novena to Mary, Help of Christians, he reminds us of the meaning of this devotion, so dear to Don Bosco.

Pope: Catholic education part of New Evangelization
|
Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday, 5th May, spoke about the importance of Catholic education when addressing a group of United States bishops in Rome on their ad limina visit. Calling Catholic schools "an essential resource for the new evangelization," the Holy Father urged that a Catholic education be within the reach of all families, whatever their financial status. Turning his attention to higher education, Pope Benedict said colleges and universities "need to reaffirm their distinctive identity in fidelity to their founding ideals and the Church's mission in service of the Gospel."
