Saint John Bosco, also known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator, and writer who dedicated his life to helping impoverished youth in Turin, Italy. He founded the Salesian Order and the Salesian Society, focusing on the education of young people and the improvement of their social conditions. His teachings and methods are still influential in the field of education today.
Saint John Bosco never married. Soon after his schooling he began studying for the priesthood. He was ordained and became renowned for his holiness and devotion to the education of children, especially the poor.
In 1835 he entered the seminary at Chieri and after six years of study was ordained priest on the eve of Trinity Sunday by Archbishop Franzoni of Turin. That would probably have fallen in May of 1841.
