(ANS - Rome) - On Sunday 21 June the Salesian Congregation and the whole Salesian Family will enjoy one of the most exciting moments of their history with the visit of Pope Francis to Valdocco on the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco. Great attention will be paid by the communication services of the Salesian Family.

The Pope's visit to Valdocco, scheduled for 3.00 p.m. Italian time on Sunday 21 June, is part of a broader programme of meetings of the Pope with the people of Turin and tributes to places and personalities that have made a significant mark on the life of the Church and the city.

For this reason, thanks to the collaboration of the Community of Canção Nova – the 25^th group of the Salesian Family – various events will be broadcast live, via streaming:

• The Eucharistic Concelebration in Piazza Vittorio starting at 10.45 and followed by the Angelus (on the site  sdb.org and at the link https://www.youtube.com/embed/W-aYsxNgXgo).)
