Description

Bishop Cantwell seated on a throne beneath a baldachin, flanked by Msgr. John Cawley (L) and Rev. Joseph McGlucken (R) during the memorial mass for St. John Bosco. Altar boys are seated in a row in front or the altar rail.
John Bosco (Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator and writer of the 19th century, who put into practice the convictions of his religion, dedicating his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth and employing teaching methods based on love rather than punishment, a method known as the Salesian Preventive System. A follower of the spirituality and philosophy of Saint Francis de Sales, Bosco dedicated his works to him when he founded the Salesians of Don Bosco.
