Primary ADMA
The first ADMA group was founded by Don Bosco in Turin at the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in Valdocco, which is why our association has a strong and vital link with the Basilica!
Today this group (Primary ADMA) plays a role of animation for the entire association worldwide.
The Primary ADMA lives and shares with all the other groups in the world the charism, the spirit and the commitments of daily life that Don Bosco thought of for the whole association.
From Mary's house to our homes
From Mary's house to our homes
Our group is made up of many families, adults and young people who "take Mary into their homes".
Anchored to the two columns of the Eucharist and Mary, we walk together a path of Christian formation in the joys and complex situations of life.
Let us try, under the gaze of Jesus and Mary, to live every moment, even the most tiring ones, without losing hope and in mutual charity, where some pray for the other and help and solidarity become concrete gestures.

Families in the family
In the evening, once a month, several families meet together, the Rosary is said, life experiences are shared and dinner together. These moments also serve children because they foster their acquaintance and allow the emergence of true and beautiful friendships.
Our motto:
Entrust, confide and smile!
Entrust ...
Like Mary, we try to be docile to the Will of God
We want to recognize that our life is in bigger hands than ours
We put ourselves under its mantle and entrust ourselves in everyday life
Confide...

With the fidelity of Mary at the foot of the cross
-
We also live with hope in the difficulties and trials of life
-
Because there is always a greater good that awaits us
You smile...
-
Like Mary we want to glorify the Lord every day
-
Witness the beauty of the Gospel with a smile and joy
-
Because there is a way to be happy despite the difficulties and trials of life.
