Saint John Bosco, born on August 16, 1815, in Becchi, Italy, was a priest and educator who transformed the lives of poor and delinquent boys through his Salesian Order. Orphaned early, he juggled farm work with self-taught studies, entering the seminary in Chieri in 1835 and ordained in 1841. In Turin, amid Industrial Revolution poverty, he founded the Oratory of Saint Francis de Sales in 1846, offering shelter, education, and faith to street youth using a “preventive system” of reason, religion, and kindness. In 1859, he established the Salesians of Don Bosco, inspired by Saint Francis de Sales, expanding his mission globally with schools and workshops. After a life of tireless service, he died of lung disease on January 31, 1888, leaving a network that thrives today. | Saint John Bosco, born on August 16, 1815, in Becchi, Italy, was a priest and educator who transformed the lives of poor and delinquent boys through his Salesian Order.
