By Br. Roel Jude Mallari, SDB Turin, Italy--The Salesian Congregation has received a great grace as St. Artemide Zatti was raised to the altars on his canonization last October 9, 2022. This event indeed testifies that the Salesian Brother vocation is a sure way to holiness, as St. Zatti exemplified in his life. The Rector Major Fr. Angel Fernandez-Artime, SDB, invited all Salesians—especially the coadjutor brothers—to Rome to be able to witness the canonization of St. Zatti. He prepared a special program for all who were willing to participate in this historic moment in our congregation.

Rome Tours On October 8, we had the Mass with the Rector Major and the whole Salesian Family gathered in Rome for the canonization of St. Artemide Zatti. Afterward, there followed a special audience with His Holiness Pope Francis in the Pope Paul VI Hall. Both the Rector Major and the Pope conveyed to us the importance of living a life filled with gratitude and humble submission to God’s will, as these were the determining virtues for St. Artemide’s holiness. /DonBoscoFIN
