Saint John Melchior Bosco (Italian: Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco; 16 August 1815, popularly known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator, and writer of the 19th century. While working in Turin, where the population suffered many of the ill-effects of industrialization and urbanization, he dedicated his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth. He developed teaching methods based on love rather than punishment, a method that became known as the Salesian Preventive System. A follower of the spirituality and philosophy of Francis de Sales, Bosco was an ardent devotee of Mary, mother of Jesus, under the title Mary Help of Christians. Helater dedicated his works to De Sales when he founded the Salesians of Don Bosco, based in Turin. Together with Maria Domenica Mazzarello, he founded the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, a religious congregation of nuns dedicated to the care and education of poor girls. He taught Dominic Savio, of whom he wrote a biography that helped the young boy become canonized. On 18 April 1869, one year after the construction of the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin, Don Bosco established the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) connecting it with commitments easily fulfilled by most common people, to the spirituality and the mission of the Salesian Congregation.The ADMA was founded to promote the veneration of the Most Holy Sacrament and Mary Help of Christians. In 1876 Bosco founded a movement of laity, the Association of Salesian Cooperators,with the same educational mission to the poor. In 1875, he began to publish the Salesian Bulletine The Bulletin has remained in continuous publication, and is currently published in 50 different editions and 30 languages.
