The Novena to Mary Help of Christians this year has the motto “Mary, you are our help”.
“Do whatever he tells you”. The key phrase of this year’s Strenna is a phrase that marks Mary’s care for humanity: a reminder, a comfort, and a help at every moment of life.
Mary is a mother who remains by our side and listens.
But her listening, as always, is not passive:
she does not merely receive our trust
but guides us towards a future filled with joy.
The 2026 World Novena to Mary Help of Christians
highlights Mary’s presence in everyday life,
through nine true stories in which we can recognise ourselves, bring our own experiences, and find a word of comfort, help and love.
The structure for each day includes:
– The presentation of the theme
– An introductory Bible verse
– A biographical story in cartoon format
– Commentary by the Rector Major
– A question for reflection
– A thematic prayer with reference to the life of Don Bosco
– Closing prayer: “Do whatever he tells you”

"If you wish, remember me only as a kind and gentle priest who always wanted to reach out and help many in pain and need." - Rev. Fr. Aurelis Maschio
"If you wish, remember me only as a kind and gentle priest who always wanted to reach out and help many in pain and need." - Rev. Fr. Aurelis Maschio
The Fr. Maschio Memorial Foundation was established on 9th September, 1997 on the occasion of the first death anniversary of late Rev. Fr. Aurelius Maschio, having a Mission statement as under:
Fr. Maschio Memorial Foundation is named after late Rev. Fr. Aurelis Maschio, who in imitation OF Don Bosco worked tirelessly for the welfare of the poor and the young. Fr. Maschio Memorial Foundation strives to strengthen the participation of the young and the poor, with preference for the marginalized, in developing processes that affect their well-being. The new forms of urban and rural poverty today call for more innovative interventions from the Salesians. It is an extension of the Salesian charism in the areas of activities that the Salesians have not been able to reach. MORE
