St. John Bosco also known as St. Don Bosco, was famous for working with the youth. Especially the youth who struggled through poverty. He started the Salesian Order which is the largest religious order in the world. Saint Don Bosco taught that it was easy to become a saint. All we needed to do was “the ordinary things in an extraordinary way.”
Pray the Saint John Bosco Novena for the personal intentions you may have. It’s a nine day novena. Especially pray it for the young people in your life.
