	Dear Friends and Benefactors, There is no one we think of more during the month of May, than of Mary, Our Blessed Mother. It is truly a Marian month. At the very outset of this letter I assure you that we here at this Marian Shrine will continue to implore our Blessed Mother to shower on you and your dear ones her abundant blessings in gratitude for all the help and support you give our mission work. Don Bosco always reminded his Salesians that all our works are very dear to our Blessed Mother; we are only her humble instruments carrying out the mission that she entrusted to Don Bosco. You, my dear friend, with your help and support are our ardent collaborator in this mission work and your role means much to us. May is also the month of the summer vacations. In these days several of our Salesians are up and about organizing and conducting summer camps for youth of all ages. Many youngsters we know will not be able to afford a decent holiday and so our camps offer them wholesome and healthy recreation either by the sea or up in the hills and they are made possible through your generosity. Thank you so much! This month is also special for us here at the Shrine. It is the month during which we celebrate the feast of ‘Mary Help of Christians’ the titular of our Shrine. As we celebrate this beautiful “Month of Mary” that will culminate in the feast of Mary Help of Christians, I assure you of a special remembrance during all our Marian services. You, your dear ones and all your intentions will be prayed for. That’s our way of saying ‘THANKS’ to you. May Our Blessed Mother grant you all your prayers and petitions. As I conclude I entrust our mission and our work to your prayers, I remain, Yours sincerely and gratefully,
