Feast day: - 31st January. St John Bosco is the patron saint of school children and magicians. He was born in Italy on 16th August 1815. He helped his family grow food and raise sheep. Eventhough they were poor themselves, they shared what they could with poorer families in the area. At the age of nine her had a vivid dream which inspired him to go onto help those who were less fortunate than himself. After watching a circus troupe perform, St John Bosco was inspired by the way the performers attracted the attention of the crowds and used this when going out to preach in the streets of Italy. Using magic to draw in the crowds, he is now the patron saint of magicians. As a young priest, John Bosco worked tirelessly to help the young; especially those who were poor and not attending school or work. He spent many years working with the poor youth in Turin, helping them in gaining skills and jobs as well as supporting them in their faith formation. This is why St John Bosco is also the patron saint of school children. St John Bosco, Pray for us. |
