SAINT JOHN BOSCO

This holy Founder of the Religious
Congregation of Priests and
Brothers known as the "Salesians of
Don Bosco" is one of the Saints of
the 20th, century, having been
canonized in 1934.
From his earliest youth he
dedicated himself to the spiritual
and temporal welfare of poor,
neglected and delinquent boys. After
his ordination he dedicated his
entire life to this project and
established a system of formation
and training for them that has
become a model for all similar
works. To assist him in his child
welfare activities he established not
only his Congregation of men but
one for women who were to do for
girls what the Don Bosco and his
men did for boys. These societies
have gained international fame and
stature.
Saint John Bosco died on January
31, 1888. On this day his memory is
venerated throughout the universal
Church.
