Catholic Faithful today commemorated the founder of the Order of John Don Bosco at Upper Hill Shrine. – By Meshack Makau.
John Don Bosco dedicated his entire life to teach the youth on live skills and values, within the dogma of the Catholic Church.
The Saint was specially inspired by Holy Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
It is believed that he constantly devoted himself to Marian teaching, and obtained many graces as a result of the Devotion.
He is the founder of the Selesians of Don Bosco and the Patron Saint of the order.
