Saint
of the Day for 1/31/04
St.
John Bosco (from
AmericanCatholic.org)
(1815-1888)
John Bosco’s
theory of education could well be used in today’s schools. It was a preventive
system, rejecting corporal punishment and placing students in surroundings
removed from the likelihood of committing sin. He advocated frequent reception
of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion. He combined catechetical
training and fatherly guidance, seeking to unite the spiritual life with one’s
work, study and play.
Encouraged during
his youth to become a priest so he could work with young boys, John was ordained
in 1841. His service to young people started when he met a poor orphan and
instructed him in preparation for receiving Holy Communion. He then gathered
young apprentices and taught them catechism.
After serving as
chaplain in a hospice for working girls, John opened the Oratory of St. Francis
de Sales for boys. Several wealthy and powerful patrons contributed money,
enabling him to provide two workshops for the boys, shoemaking and tailoring.
By 1856, the
institution had grown to 150 boys and had added a printing press for publication
of religious and catechetical pamphlets. His interest in vocational education
and publishing justify him as patron of young apprentices and Catholic
publishers.
John’s preaching
fame spread and by 1850 he had trained his own helpers because of difficulties
in retaining young priests. In 1854 he and his followers informally banded
together under Francis de Sales.
With Pope Pius
IX’s encouragement, John gathered 17 men and founded the Salesians in 1859.
Their activity concentrated on education and mission work. Later, he organized a
group of Salesian Sisters to assist girls.
