With hearts full of joy and gratitude to God, the Salesian Province of Mary Help of Christians, Guwahati, extend heartfelt congratulations and prayerful best wishes to His Holiness on his election as the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church.

In this sacred moment of grace and historic significance, we thank the Holy Spirit for guiding the Church through the College of Cardinals to entrust the new Pope with the Petrine ministry. His election fills us with renewed hope and deep faith in God’s providence.

As sons of Don Bosco, we pledge our filial obedience, deep affection, and unwavering support to His Holiness. We pray that under his guidance, the Church may continue to be a beacon of mercy, truth, and love, especially for the young, the poor, and the marginalized.

May Mary Help of Christians, our Mother and Guide, accompany his Holiness in this new and sacred mission. May she intercede for the new Pope and for the Church, so that together we may walk in the light of Christ, the Good Shepherd.

Ad multos annos, Pope Leo XIV!
