St. John Bosco Novena

A nine-day novena prayer for youth around the world.

Pray the Novena to St. John Bosco With Us

There are countless children and young people around the world who need to know they are loved and valued, and there are many ways we can make a difference — but prayer is one of the most powerful places to begin.

St. John Bosco, the patron saint of youth and school children, dedicated his life to the upliftment and education of young people. He founded the Salesians of Don Bosco, an order dedicated to the care and education of underprivileged children. St. John Bosco's impact lives on today as his teachings and care for young people inspire and empower youth all over the world. We look to him as a strong intercessor for children in need.

Join us as we ask St. John Bosco to intercede for children around the world.

In this nine-day prayer, we will focus on nine specific intentions including:

  • Students and school children;
  • Teachers and educators;
  • Those in poverty, and more.
