The Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians (Italian: Basilica di Santa Maria Ausiliatrice) is a Pontifical church and Marian shrine in Turin, Italy. The building was originally part of the safehouse for poor boys cared for by Don Bosco, it now contains the remains of Bosco, and six thousand numbered relics of other Catholic saints.
Pope Pius X raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via the Pontifical decree Anno Reparatæ Salutis on 12 July 1911.
