Patron Saint Dominic Savio was born on April 2, 1842 at San Giovanni di Riva, near Turin, Italy. Dominic was one of ten children born to Carlo and Birgitta Savio. A promising student of St. John Bosco, Dominic was a young person with an extraordinary love of God. Dominic once said, “I can’t do big things, but I want everything to be for the glory of God.” Dominic was an example of childhood holiness.He was nourished by the sacraments and held firm to his Marian devotion. On a visit to Turin, John Bosco’s mother commented to her son: “You have many good boys, but none can match the good heart and soul of Dominic Savio. I see him so often at prayer, staying at church after the others; every day he slips out of the playground to make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. When he is in church, he is like an Angel living in paradise.” Unfortunately, Dominic died from tuberculosis on March 9, 1857. Pope Pius XI described Dominic Savio as “small in size, but a towering giant in spirit.” Dominic Savio was canonized on June 12, 1954. The History of St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School was founded in 2009 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin to serve the Catholic communities of central and north Austin.

  • Saint Dominic Savio
    Saint Dominic Savio Dominic Savio is one of the few teenage saints in the history of the Church. He was born in 1842 in the village of Riva in northern Italy. He was the eldest child of Charles and Brigid Savio who were poor and hard working people. At the age of 8 Dominic walked ten kilometres each day to the school in the neighbouring village. There he became an excellent student who always tried hard in his lessons. At the age of 12 he commenced at Don Bosco's school, The Oratory of St Francis de Sales in Turin. He made many friends due to his cheerfulness and willingness to be part of every activity. Dominic was a gifted student leader. At school he would actively look out for those who were lonely and befriend them. When a new student arrived he would be the first to greet them. He would encourage them to be a good Christian, saying that it is "not a matter of doing extraordinary things but of doing ordinary things extraordinarily well." Dominic loved God. He had a strong faith and was actively involved in community service. He was a constant visitor to the school hospital where he would cheer up those who were sick. He and his friends would go into Turin to assist those who were old or ill. Dominic was not a physically strong boy and had bad health. His teachers and friends admired the way he never complained about his sickness. He died at the age of 15. Dominic's life is a great example to young people through his effort at school, his loyalty as a friend, his qualities as a student leader, his service to others and his love of God.

  • Pascual Chavez
    Giornate di Spiritualità della Famiglia Salesiana 16 - 19 gennaio 2014 Pastoral Charity Core and synthesis of Salesian spiritualiy Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva Rector Mejor Previously we have seen how the ”type” of spiritual person Don Bosco was: profoundly human and totally open to God; in harmony between these two dimension he lived out a plan of life that he had taken up with determination: at the service of the young. As Don Rua says: “He took no step, he said no word, he took up no task that was not directed to the saving of the young.”[14] If one examines his plan for the young one sees that it had a “heart,”, an element that gave it meaning, originality: “Truly the only concern of his heart was for souls”.[15] There is therefore a further practical explanation for the unity of his life: through his dedication to young people Don Bosco wanted to give them an experience of God. On his part this was not just generosity or philantropy but pastoral charity. This is called the “core and synthesis” of the Salesian spirit.[16] “Core and synthesis” is a telling and demanding affirmation. It is easier to list the various features, even the basic ones of our spirituality, without committing ourselves to any sort of hierarchical relationship, which would choose one as being the principal one. In this case it is necesary to enter into the spirit of Don Bosco or of the Salesian in order to discover the explanation for his way of doing things. To understand what is involved in pastoral charity we take three steps: we look first at charity, then at the specification “pastoral”, and finally at the ‘Salesian’ characteristics of pastoral charity.

  • St. Dominic Savio Feast: May 6
    St. Dominic Savio Feast: May 6 Facts Feast Day: May 6 Dominic Savio was born on April 2, 1842 in the village of Riva in northern Italy. His father was a blacksmith and his mother a seamstress. He had nine brothers and sisters. His family was poor but hardworking. They were devout and pious Catholics. When he was just two years old, Dominic's family returned to their native village of Castlenuovo d'Asti, (Today, Castlenuovo Don Bosco) near the birthplace of John Bosco. Bosco would himself later be canonized as a Saint by the Church and became a major influence on the life of Dominic. As a small child, Dominic loved the Lord and His Church. He was very devout in practicing his Catholic faith. For example, he said grace before every meal and refused to eat with those who did not. He was always quick to encourage others to pray. Dominic attended Church regularly with his mother and was often seen kneeling before the Tabernacle in prayer. He even prayed outside the Church building. It did not matter to Dominic if the ground was covered with mud or snow, he knelt and prayed anyway. Dominic was quickly recognized as an exceptional student who studied hard and performed well in school. He became an altar server. He also attended daily Mass and went to confession regularly. He asked to receive his first communion at the age of seven. This was not the practice in the Church of Italy at the time. Normally, children received their first holy communion at the age of twelve.
