Don Bosco
John Melchior Bosco was born on August 16, 1815 in a poor hamlet of Becchi in northern Italy. His father, Francis, died only two years after John's birth, leaving Margaret to raise three boys by herself: John and his older brother Joseph, and their stepbrother Anthony from Francis’ first marriage. At the age of nine John had a dream which foreshadowed his lifetime mission with the young.
History of The Province
It all began with a handful of teenagers in 1841. Don Bosco soon had several hundred kids coming to him on Sundays for Mass, religious instruction and an afternoon of recreation. They met wherever he could find enough space mostly in vacant lots. Don Bosco called this informal Sunday gathering the Oratory. Some of the kids who frequented it were homeless and all of them were poor and abandoned.
