Jan 31: Saint John Bosco

Saint John Bosco became a priest because he loved helping the youth. He first started helping and orphan and preparing him for receiving Holy Communion. He served as a chaplin for hospice for working girls. Then started the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales for boys. He eventually founded the Salesians in 1859 pre Pope Pius’ suggestions. And later organized a group of Salesian sisters. He was known for his education style that removed corporal punishment and educated the whole person - mind, body and soul.
