Rome (Italy).<\/strong> On 7 April 2022, in the 6th<\/sup> and final appointment of the “Salesian Thursdays at Auxilium” – the initiative of the Studies Center on the FMA<\/span><\/a> of the Pontifical Faculty of Educational Sciences “Auxilium” in Rome with in-depth studies on pedagogy, spirituality, and history of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, Sr. Piera Cavagli\u00e0<\/strong>, Secretary General of the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians from 2002 to 2021, and Emeritus Professor of the Faculty, presented the theme, \u201cFMA at the origins of other religious institutes, in formation and in government\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
