(ANS – Turin) – The “Women’s Saturday Evenings” series kicked off in Turin on 2 May 2026 at the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians, marking the start of the Marian month in preparation for the feast day on 24 May. As in previous years, on the three Saturdays preceding the feast of Mary Help of Christians, three women are invited to the Basilica to share their testimonies on Our Lady: this year, leading the reflection on “Mary, Mother of the Church” are three religious – chosen for the first time by Pope Francis and subsequently confirmed by Pope Leo – who hold positions of responsibility in the Vatican.
