Old Photograph St John Bosco Shrine Carfin Scotland
Old photographs of the St John Bosco Shrine at Carfin near Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. John Bosco, Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco, born 16 August 1815, died 31 January 1888, popularly known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest of the Latin Church, educator and writer of the 19th century. While working in Turin, where the population suffered many of the 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.
