'+Description+': ''Association of the Devotees of Mary Help of Christians'', hence the 'D' in ADMA, is now deprecated in favour of the simple ''Association of Mary Help of Christians'', or ''Mary Help of Christians Association''.

Don Bosco himself traced out the origins of the group in a leaflet entitled ''Association of the Devotees of Mary Help of Christians canonically erected in the Church dedicated to Her in Turin with historical information about this title by the priest John Bosco''. He attributed the origin of the Association to "repeated requests," coming "from all parts and from people of all ages and every condition" during and after the construction and the consecration of the church. He referred to the associates as "those united in the same spirit of prayer and piety paying homage to the great Mother of the Saviour invoked with the beautiful title of the Help of Christians".

To increase the expansion of the Association Don Bosco managed to have it erected as an Archconfraternity, with the faculty of aggregating to it similar associations already in existence or later to be erected. This was granted by Pius IX with the brief ''Sodalitia Fidelium'' of 5 April 1870, which, however, limited the aggregation to the archdiocese of Turin. With a subsequent brief ''Expositum Nobis'' of 2 March 1877 the faculty was extended to all the dioceses of Piedmont. After the death of Don Bosco, Leo XIII, first with the brief ''Admotae Nobis preces'' of 25 June 1889, granted the faculty of aggregation to all the similar associations "erected or to be erected in any church or public oratory belonging to the Salesian Society wherever they may be "; then with the brief ''Cum multa'' of 19 January 1894 he conferred ''in perpetuo'' on the Rector Major of the Salesians and his successors the faculty of being able "to validly and lawfully erect other associations of the same name, and institute in any place where houses and churches of the Congregation existed and aggregate the associations erected to the above mentioned Archconfraternity”; two years afterwards with the brief ''Sodalitas'' of 25 February 1896 he granted the Rector Major and his successors the faculty of "aggregating to the same Archconfraternity", established in the church of Mary Help of Christians in Turin, other associations with the same aims and of the same kind canonically erected in any church or diocese ". Finally, the Sacred  Congregation for Religious with the rescript of 31 July 1913 granted the privilege that the Rector Major might canonically erect the Association of the Devotees of Mary Help of Christians also in the houses of the Institute of the FMA and  aggregate them to the Primary Centre in Turin.
