The Novena in Honor of St. John Bosco is a nine-day prayer devotion dedicated to St John Bosco, an Italian priest and educator known for his work with disadvantaged youth in the 19th century.
During the novena, believers pray specific prayers each day, reflecting on Saint John Bosco’s life, virtues, and teachings, asking for his intercession for various intentions, such as guidance, protection, and assistance in their endeavours.
It’s a way for Catholics and others inspired by Saint John Bosco to deepen their spiritual connection with him and seek his help in their lives.
