L’istruzione è una questione di cuore

“Non dimenticate mai queste tre cose: devozione al Santissimo Sacramento, devozione a Maria Ausiliatrice e devozione al Santo Padre!”. Così diceva Don Giovanni Bosco ai suoi compagni nel suo ultimo periodo.

Education is a question of the heart

“Do not ever forget these three things, devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, devotion to Mary Help of Christians and devotion to the Holy Father”, Don John Bosco said to his companions, shortly before he died.

Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco was born on 16 August 1815 in Becchi, Castelnuovo d'Asti, to a poor and humble rural family. His parents' names were Francesco Bosco and Margherita Occhiena. He had two brothers, Giuseppe and Antonio.
