Today the Church celebrates the service and life of St. John Bosco. John began his ministry to the young by first forming catechism classes that met after Sunday Mass. At these classes he would offer schooling in the faith for free and he soon had a group of over 400 children to teach. His enthusiasm drew ridicule from some of his peers who did not see its value, but John saw the need to train the future of the Church and allow their youthful energy to be put to work for the greater glory of God. Johns catechism school grew into a full-fledged school where boys could receive an education, learn a trade, and love Jesus. Today, his work continues through the Salesians.
