Biography on the Card
Life of St. 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 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.
