Saint John Bosco was a jewel in our history, a model of piety and a ferocious warrior against the enemies of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We’ll attempt to analyze all the facets of his pious life.

Prophet, diplomat, miracle worker, counselor, visionary, devotee of Our Lady, prolific writer, role model for wayward boys, founder of the Salesians, priest, rock of scandal, warrior against heresies…

It all can be summed up by the phrase, “Christianus alter Christus” -- he was Christ-like. He’s the patron saint of apprentices, editors, publishers, schoolchildren, magicians, and wayward children.

An attempt was made by the Salesians to document his daring deeds for Christ, which resulted in 19 large volumes that are the primary source material for our channel. He’s a veritable font of interesting anecdotes and inspiring stories.

The more we learn of and admire the saintly aspects of Don Bosco, the more we’ll be like him in our own lives.
