"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Holy, Saint John Bosco, Confessor. This admirable "Apostle of Youth" is almost our contemporary. He founded the Salesian Society of Saint Frances de Sales, and the Daughters of Mary, he helped many Catholic's to the true faith. His life's work was consecrated to the care of young boys and girls. More info I found. This apostolic Holy priest of our modern times is hailed as the patron of youth. He was born in Castelnuovo, Italy, on August 16, 1815. As a youngster, he was employed for a time as a shepherd, and his leisurely work gave him opportunity for prayerful union with God which was so evident in the years of his labor for souls. As a young priest in Turin, he was under the guidance of Don Joseph Caffasso, now a saint. An act of kindness to a poor boy in 1842 began the work of charity associated with his name thereafter, the care of needy youth. For them he organized clubs and night schools, giving them recreation and training. Despite obstacles and difficulties from all sides the endeavor, which included technical schools and work shops, grew until he had founded a society, the Salesians, to perpetuate it. The work for boys gradually branched into a work for needy girls, for whom a Community, Daughters of Mary, Help of Catholic’s, was inaugurated. He faithfully past away in the year 1888 and was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1934. The motto on the Salesian coat of arms: "Give me only souls and keep the rest." bears witness to Saint John Bosco's Catholic ideals.
Reflection: A personal love of Christ developed in his own youth was the source of the deep zeal for the young which characterized Saint John Bosco’s work. There is nothing as precious as a soul. Saint John Chrysostom asks: “What is equal to that profession which is concerned with directing the soul and forming the mind and character of the young?”
