On the day of 31 January
The commemoration of Saint John Bosco, priest, who spent a difficult childhood and, after he was ordained a priest, brought all his strength to the education of youth and the Salesian Society and, assisted by Saint Maria Dominica Mazzarello, founded the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help [of Christians], to train young people in skills and Christian life. After he completed many labors he piously passed to the eternal banquet on this day in Turin, Italy.
