The recent beatifications within the Salesian Family, including Salesian Father August Czartoryski, Daughter of Mary Help of Christians Sister Eusebia Palomino, and Cooperator Alessandrina M. da Costa, as well as the upcoming beatification of Salesian alumnus Albert Marvelli, highlight the diverse expressions of Salesian holiness. These individuals serve as models for the Salesian charisma, embodying common traits while also reflecting their unique characteristics. Each beatification serves as a new call to deepen and joyfully live the Salesian vocation. The diversity among those beatified underscores the conviction that the Salesian Family is a holy family, comprising consecrated and laypersons, men and women, of all ages, who can pursue holiness by following the spiritual, educative, and pastoral path of Don Bosco.
