Live from Sarajevo, President Michele Capasso and Director Pia Molinari emphasised the importance of the canonisation of Sister Maria Troncatti for the FMA and the entire Salesian Family, recalling one of her fundamental thoughts: "I give you the medicine, but it is Mary Help of Christians who heals you".
Similarly, Capasso recalled the importance of the example of St. Bartolo Longo for the secular world that must convert to the true faith.
