Egidio Viganò – “Letter of the Rector Major” in “Acts of the Superior Council of the salesian society”

The Rector Major wrote this letter from the 7th General Chapter of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. The Chapter commenced officially on 15 September following a week-long retreat. The centenary of Don Bosco’s Dream of the Diamonds coincided with this week, serving as the focal point of discussions for the 150 attendees, who are reflecting on the Salesian spirit embodied by the Dream. The Sisters are currently immersed in finalizing the definitive version of their Constitutions and will proceed to elect their Mother General in mid-October.
