"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." – Martin Luther King Jr.

At this special time of year, we have books to inspire and delight you. Accompany your little ones 'On the Road to Emmaus' or through 'Via Lucis: The Way of the Light'. Or perhaps, reflect with Fr Michael on the Gospel resurrection narratives in 'Alive'.

Feast of St Dominic Savio

Feast of St Dominic Savio

Date: 6th May 2022

Today, 6 May, marks the feast of St. Dominic Savio.

St. Dominic Savio was a student at Don Bosco's Oratory. St. Dominic Savio was a very devout young Catholic who wished to be a Priest and a Saint. He was often a great help to St. John Bosco especially with the Immaculate Conception Sodality, that other students were a part of.

However, St. Dominic Savio passed away at the age of 14 from Tuberculosis at his family home in Castelnuovo d'Asti.

O God, the source of everything that is good,
in Saint Dominic Savio you have given to young people a wonderful example of charity and purity;
grant that we too may grow as your children in joy and love,
till we attain the full stature of Christ.
He is God, and lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
for ever and ever.

Amen
