History
John Bosco was born on 16th August 1815, in a peasant family of Becchi, near the city of Turin, Italy. He was only two years old when his father, Francis Bosco passed away. 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 Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB).
