ECUADOR – PROMOTING THE DEVOTION TO MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS AT “ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE EDUCATIONAL UNIT” OF RIOBAMBA

For the Salesians, devotion to Mary Help of Christians, since the time of Don Bosco, is significant and fundamental, since their patron put his life and his educative-evangelising work in the hands of the good Mother. This is why the Salesian community of Riobamba creates space that strengthens this devotion among those who belong to it.

The members of the ADMA youth group are those whose mission is to promote devotion to Mary Help of Christians. It is currently a group of 29 young people who pray the Rosary on the 24th of each month. Divided into two groups, the boys and girls visit the ‘Santo Tomas Apostol Educational Unit’ in Riobamba, a boarding school, where they carry out this activity in an interactive manner. In all these spaces, the image of Mary Help of Christians is very much alive.
