鮑思高崗鮑思高聖髑遭盜竊這嚴重褻聖事件發生三天後，調查人員繼續他們的調查工作，而負責大殿的慈幼會士，則對所有表達支持的人士予以感謝。都靈總主教諾西亞（Cesare
Nosiglia）蒙席，於6月3日主日，發表了他對此事的獨特見解，促請所有他教區的司鐸，於五旬節主日的彌撒中，特別紀念慈幼會士團體。
總主教在聲明中表示：「鮑思高崗大殿的鮑思高聖髑遭盜竊這段消息，是你們所不願意聽到的，因為這事使我們想到，那人的道德悲慘境況何等深，竟將放在聖殿中供人們敬禮，扶持人們信仰的『標記』盜走了。」
總主教繼續表示：「都靈聖殿十分接近慈幼會團體……鮑思高曾是這個教區的司鐸：就在兩年前，我們慶祝他誕生二百周年，同時舉行聖殮布展覽，教宗方濟各也到訪了這裡。」
諾西亞主教囑咐了一眾司鐸，在五旬節彌撒中特別紀念慈幼會士團體，隨後在總結時，他懇請那些盜取聖髑的人，「盡快無條件歸還，使這痛苦的一頁得以過去，使我們也能繼續在鮑思高的出生地，合宜地歌頌他。」
目前，鮑思高崗的慈幼會士團體，已對各界透過電郵、信息及電話，所表達的關注、祈禱及共融精神予以感謝。
團體負責人Luca Barone神父，特別提到都靈總主教、總會長及其代表、地區議員Don Stefano Martoglio、比哀蒙及奧斯大谷監護人Enrico Stasi神父，所表達的支持，正如「很多來自慈幼世界的人士，表達了他們的同情之心。」
根據鮑思高崗的慈幼會士所發佈的消息，卡賓槍騎兵隊現正調查此案件。大殿院長EzioOrsini神父，在盜竊事件發生後明確表示：「我們堅信，縱使人們可以盜走鮑思高神父的聖髑，卻不能盜走鮑思高神父，信眾將繼續以熱心與平靜的心情前來朝聖。」
Don Bosco can not be stolen
(ANS - Italy –Turin, 5 June 2017) –Three days after the sacrilegious robbery of the relic of Don Bosco from Colle Don Bosco, and while investigators continue their investigations to find it, the Salesians who animate the Basilica thank all those who have expressed their support with regard to the event. Special thoughts were expressed by Msgr. Cesare Nosiglia, archbishop of Turin, who on Sunday, June 3, urged all priests of his diocese to remember the Salesian community during the Masses of Pentecost Solemnity.
"The news of the theft of a relic of St. John Bosco from the Temple of Castelnuovo is one that you would never want to hear," the archbishop wrote in a statement. “Because it makes us think of a profound moral misery of one who would take away a 'sign' that has been left and preserved for the devotion and the faith of everyone."
"The Church of Turin is close to the Salesian Community” - continues the prelate's message - “(...) Don Bosco was the priest of this diocese: only two years ago, we celebrated, along with the exposition of the Shroud and the visit of Pope Francis, the 200 years since his birth."
After exhorting his priests to commemorate the Salesian community in the Mass of the Pentecost, Msgr. Nosiglia concluded by inviting those who took the relic to return it "immediately, and without conditions: so that this painful page can be turned, and we can duly continue to honor Don Bosco's memory in his rightful birthplace."
Meanwhile, the Salesians of the Colle Don Bosco community have expressed their gratitude for the attention, the prayers and the signs of solidarity received via e-mails, messages and phone calls.
Fr Luca Barone, Director of the Community, made special mention of the support expressed by the Archbishop of Turin, the Rector Major and his Vicar, the Regional Councilor, Don Stefano Martoglio, the Inspector of Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta, Fr Enrico Stasi as just some of the "many from all over the Salesian world" who "have expressed their sympathy."
Meanwhile from Colle Don Bosco, the Salesians report that the Carabinieri are investigating the case and, as confirmed by Don Ezio Orsini, Rector of the Basilica, who immediately after the theft said ("we are also confident that one may steal a relic of Don Bosco, but one cannot steal Don Bosco"), the pilgrimages of the faithful continue with devotion and composure.
