St. Don Bosco

Описание: January 31: St. Don Bosco

#KnowYourSaint: John Melchior Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco was an Italian Catholic priest, educator, writer and saint of the 19th century. A follower of the spirituality and philosophy of Francis de Sales, Bosco was an ardent devotee of Mary, mother of Jesus, under the title Mary Help of Christians. He later dedicated his works to De Sales when he founded the Salesians of Don Bosco, based in Turin.
As a young priest he foucsed his concern on the orphaned and homeless child laborers he encountered in Turin, Italy. His principal apostolate was among poor working boys to unite them with spiritual life. His insistence that boys in his care learn a trade made him a pioneer in modern vocational training. In later years, John Bosco founded two religious orders, the Salesians and the Daughters of Mary Auxiliatrix, to carry on the work of his life among young people. As a result, St. John Bosco is the patron saint of Catholic publishers and youth. Pope Pius XI, who knew him as a young priest, canonized him in 1934. His feast day is January 31.
