From August 29th to September 1st, 2024, the Sanctuary of Fátima hosts the IX International Congress of Mary Help of Christians.

At the end of the World Consultancy of the Salesian Family, which took place in Valdocco from 19 to 22 May, the date for the Congress of Mary Help of Christians was announced.

The Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) Primary, of Turin-Valdocco, announced the date and place of the next International Congress of Mary Help of Christians to the 32 groups of the Salesian Family present in Valdocco. The event will take place in Fátima, from August 29th to September 1st, 2024. It was initially scheduled for 2023, but the pandemic forced some large meetings to be changed.

The announcement comes after confirmation by the Team of the Salesian Family of Portugal, which is responsible for coordinating the preparation of the event that follows the Congress in Buenos Aires, in 2019.

The International Congress of Mary Help of Christians is a strong moment, which involves and unites the entire Salesian Family, which wishes to entrust to Mary its educational, missionary and charitable commitment, received from Don Bosco.
