Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian Saint John Bosco Priest
|
| History: Saints
John was born near Castelnuove in the diocese of Turin in 1815. His early
years were most difficult and so once ordained to the priesthood he
dedicated himself to the education of the young, founding congregations
which would instruct youth in both the arts and the Christian life. He also
composed pamphlets for the support and defense of religion. Saint John died
in 1888. His feast is celebrated on January 31st. Prayer: Lord, you called John Bosco to be a teacher and father to the young. Fill us with love like his: may we give ourselves completely to your service and to the salvation of mankind. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
