Feast Day is January 31sst. Patron of Magicians, Schoolchildren, apprentices and juvenile delinquents.
At a young age, John was captivated by circus performers and realized that if he could learn tricks, he could captivate others. He had a heart for the poor boys in the streets and used magic tricks to get their attention. He used to perform a trick where he turned three separate ropes into a single rope to illustrate the mystery of the Blessed Trinity. After each show he would recite a homily. He eventually founded the Salesians of Don Bosco, whose main focus is the care and education of children.
St. John Bosco, pray for us!
