The Vision

John recognized in this dream his future mission. This experience deepened his desire to become a priest and dedicate his life for the welfare of young people.

John’s path however was full of hurdles. His mother, Margaret, though poor, was prepared to make any sacrifice to educate him. But his elder step-brother Anthony, strongly opposed his going to school. He had to do his share of work on the family farm and study during his spare time. To earn the little extra money needed for the books, he had to work often as a labourer, shepherd, tailor, shoemaker, barber and cooking skills which he later taught his poor students.

Our Mission

In 1853 to train boys in some useful trades, Don Bosco turned his backyard into a makeshift workshop for shoemaking, carpentry, tailoring, smithy, book binding and printing. This was the first Catholic trade school in Italy. To give permanence to his work. In 1859, he founded a religious Society of Priests and Brothers which was named Salesians, after his favourite saint, Francis de Sales. Today they are known as the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB).
