In north-east of India, in Shillong, and specifically at Upper Shillong in the Salesian novitiate house chapel is the statue of Mary Help of Christians that was brought by one of the first Salesian missionaries who set foot in India in 1906 at Tanjore, Tamilnadu. These missionaries from Italy carried with them the statue and it still is preserved with great care and venerated with great fervour.
And Salesians everywhere have always proudly spoken of Mother Mary, under the title 'Mary help of Christians', wherever, whenever and however they've been able to. Shrines to Our Lady help of Christians are just one of the direct means of spreading this devotion.
