Our History
John Melchior Bosco was born into a family of poor farmers on 16th August, 1815 at Becchi, a hamlet near Turin, Italy. Johnny Bosco had a difficult childhood. His father died when little Johnny was just two years old. He had to face many hurdles to continue his studies. Although dogged by poverty and unfriendly environment, John's determination saw him through his course of studies. Seeing the enthusiasm of the boy, his mother, Margaret, stood by him and encouraged him to study convinced that God would one day use her son to work marvels. Johnny, however, knew right from the beginning, what he wanted to do in life. Even as a boy, Johnny gathered around himself children of the village by means of fun, laughter and song. He became their juggler, gymnast and acrobat in order to win them over. Gr vadually he began to teach them to pray and show them the way to love God. His great desire was to spend his life with young people, who, John saw, were in dire straits due to the prevailing economic, social and political conditions. He had this task in mind while entering the seminary to study for priesthood. A brilliant student, but unable to meet the cost of education, John had to find for himself - by working as a cobbler, carpenter, dishwasher and doing other odd jobs. He did all this to achieve his cherished goal. He successfully completed his studies, was ordained a priest in 1841 and began to live with and live for boys who were poor and uncared for. Religious and political authorities had initially failed to understand Don Bosco and his doing. They found Don Bosco far too daring and operating outside the framework of the rigorous theology and conservative thought of the times they were familiar with. Undaunted by difficulties and criticism, Don Bosco trusted in God and continued his work for the young. He fed them, trained them both formal and non-formal education, taught them the dignity of labour and helped them live a purposeful life. Don Bosco thought big. He dreamt big. He taught of lands and peoples beyond the seas; of wherever youth were in need. By the time Don Bosco died, he had endured that the task God had given him would be carried on, all over the world, by his followers. Don Bosco died on 31st January, 1888. He was 73 years old. He was declared a saint of the Catholic Church on 1st April, 1943. Don Bosco is the friend of youth and an educator par excellence.
