Mary Help of Christians - the ADMA moment
ROME: 23-05-10 -- With the Feast of Mary Help of Christians now
just a few hours away, and the focus very much on Turin with 93
Salesian bishops, the Rector Major and his Council all at Valdocco, it
seems an excellent moment to draw attention to a fast-growing group -
ADMA or the Mary Help of Christians Association, which has its HQ at
Valdocco itself, as has been the case since Don Bosco founded it....
and that's the point. We so often seem to speak of SDB, FMA and
Salesian Cooperators as 'founded by Don Bosco', quietly overlooking the
fact that ADMA was too! And now, especially with the dynamic
assistance of Fr Cameroni, this group is developing rapidly in its
contemporary understanding of its place and role in the vast Salesian
movement.
Rather that say much more about all this, here are
some links that will let you know 'where it's at' at the moment.
In the meantime - a very happy Feast for 24th to all
readers!
