Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco!
I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin.
My parents: Francis and Margaret, are farmers;
I have two older brothers, Anthony and Joseph.
![Page 5: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bedroom
Kitchen
YardI’ve decided to tell you a bit about myself
and invite you to have a look at my home
Some places are especially important for me.
![Page 6: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I was only two years old when my father died. As well as looking after us, my mother had to take over my father’s work in the fields.
She was a strong woman…
the farm work is hard and she cannot do it all by herself, so my brothers and I help her...
![Page 7: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
My bedroom...
When I was about 9, I had a strange dream in
this room...
...it stayed with me throughout my life!
![Page 8: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
I seemed to be somewhere close to my house in a very large school yard.
“Not with punches, but with kindness will you win over these boys...”
I was only nine years old...
Who was asking me to do these impossible things???
There were lots of boys, some of them using bad language. When I heard those words I rushed at them, fists flying.
Just then a Man appeared...
![Page 9: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
He replied: “I am the one your mother taught you to greet three times a day. Ask your mother what my name is.”
Suddenly there appeared a woman of majestic appearance. I was confused…she called me towards her and took me
by the hand.
I noticed that all the fighting boys had disappeared, and in their place I saw
animals: goats, dogs, cats...
She said: “Make yourself humble and strong… what you see happen to these wild animals,
you will have to do for my children.”
![Page 10: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I turned around and saw that the wild animals had changed into playful lambs...
I did not understand at all… I asked the woman to put it more clearly...
![Page 11: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Only many years later did I realise that in
the dream
a Jesus figure
and Mary figure
were showing me what I would do
with my future life.
![Page 12: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The kitchen was the heart of the house.
This was where I learned the meaning of kindness, of patience… compassion
to the stranger who knocked on the door asking for food...
more than that, Jesus was practically one of the family.
My mother, Margaret, knew loads of stories from the Bible and helped us to pray, remember God and respect each other…
We could not go to catechism classes, so she taught us about God.
![Page 14: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It was here that I began to build a simple but deep friendship
with God within me.
In my family I learned to
respect and have
confidence in God;
an ‘everyday’ God, a
normal part of life.
![Page 15: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
As I grew up, I came to understand that I had to pass on the love I had received from my
earliest years to those young people who had no home, no
family.
Time flew by during my years at school and at last I came to put in to action
my DREAM OF BECOMING A PRIEST FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE
![Page 16: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
After many years of study at the Seminary, I became a Priest. Turin had so many boys who needed a place to play and enjoy themselves, a place to be together and have fun.
It’s difficult work and it has cost me
tiredness and tears, but finally, one day...
This is me
![Page 17: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
...a man called Pinardi heard that I was looking for a place where boys from the city centre could meet.
He decided to offer me an old shed…
On Easter Sunday 1846, after a lot of work to get the place ready, I finally managed to bring the lads to their new home.
In those days it was called an Oratory.
![Page 18: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Every young person could feel ‘at home’.
By mixing up fun, reflection, games, prayers and singing, I
have tried to pass on everything I learnt as a young person.
Kindness, work, sharing, friendship with God and with
others, dreams…
Every boy who came to the Pinardi Shed could find all of this!
![Page 19: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I have held on to one rule throughout this whole adventure:
“Love what the young people love so that they will also learn to love
what you love.”
![Page 20: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Many young people decided to stay. They offered a
‘home’ to young people, learning from their early experience of being loved
just as I had done...
Many others chose to move on, taking with them the joy,
the happiness and the mystery of their experience of gospel
care for others.
You too can help other young people to find their dreams,
just as you have.
![Page 21: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Today the work continues in over Today the work continues in over 132 countries132 countries
is recognised in thousands of cities across the world
The kindness of Salesian houses has saved many young
people from sadness and violence
![Page 22: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The word for breath and spirit are the same in the language of
the Bible
is the word for the breath of the Spirit
![Page 23: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It helps us to remember four important things in working with
young people:• Respect
• Understanding
• Affection
• Humour
![Page 24: Specialist topic…. DON BOSCO 1815- 1888…. Hi ! My name is John, but everyone calls me Don Bosco! I was born on 16th August 1815, a few miles from Turin](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d315503460f94a09d1c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
