Nella chiesa di Santa Maria Ausiliatrice, nel transetto destro, dove anticamente si trovava la cappella di san Pietro, sorge ora il monumentale altare dedicato a san Giovanni Bosco, opera dell'architetto Mario Ceradini (1938). In alto, sotto il quadro del Crida, si trova l'urna in bronzo e cristallo contenente le spoglie del Santo, disegnata dal prof. Giulio Casanova dell'Accademia Albertina, ben inquadrata nell'architettura marmorea dell'altare. La salma di don Bosco, vestita di paramenti sacri donati dal papa Benedetto XV, fu qui trasferita da Valsalice nel 1929. Il volto e le mani sono maschere di cera modellate dal Cellini e dipinte da Carlo Cussetti. L'altare è ricco di marmi policromi, di onici, malachiti e pietre orientali. Il tabernacolo, decorato con lapislazzuli e pietre dure, ha una porticina di argento cesellato ed è sovrastato da un cupolino di onice antica, con ornati in bronzo. L'architetto Mario Ceradini (1864-1940) ha separato l'altare dalla parete di fondo, ricavando una cappellina riccamente ornata che permette ai pellegrini di accostare l'urna. Due statue ai lati dell'altare, opera dello scultore Nori di Verona, rappresentano la Fede che sorregge il calice e l'ostia e la Carità, con il cuore fiammante. Nelle nicchie laterali sono collocate le statue di due santi della gioventù, ispiratori della pedagogia di don Bosco: sulla destra san Giovanni Battista de La Salle (1651-1719), fondatore dei Fratelli delle Scuole Cristiane (opera del Cellini, 1942) sulla sinistra san Filippo Neri (1515-1595) fondatore della Congregazione dei Preti dell'Oratorio. Due vetrate policrome ai lati dell'altare illustrano scene della vita del Santo: a destra l'incontro con Bartolomeo Garelli, nella sacrestia di san Francesco d'Assisi (8 dicembre 1841) a sinistra, l'arrivo di don Bosco e mamma Margherita a casa Pinardi (3 novembre 1846). Procedendo verso l'altar maggiore, si incontra il pulpito in noce disegnato dallo Spezia, dal quale don Bosco predicò innumerevoli volte, particolarmente nelle feste.
