Providenza! Stories of St. John Bosco

Join us for this uplifting, 50-minute presentation of the life of St. John Bosco, the P at r on of Youth. This lively, two-person play is perfect for the whole family! Wr it ten and performed by Tom and Geralyn Sparough, it will take place Wednesday, March 3 at 7 p.m. in the church. Among his many talents, the Italian-born St. Bosco was a juggler and acrobat. Tom Sparough, a professional ju g g ler who has performed at our church several times, portrays some of St. Bosco's juggling skills in the show. But the performance also portrays many of the early hardships that St. Bosco suffered. Expect the evening to be both entertaining and emotionally moving, and all centered on St. Bosco's love of God.

Adding to the fun of the show, the Sparoughs like to joke that Tom plays one character, St. Bosco, and Geralyn plays the 37 other roles in the show!

Providenza, Italian for providence, means God’s Will working in our lives. The whole family will be inspired to hear the stories and challenges of how this poor farm boy, who became St. Bosco, followed God’s calling and c h an ged the lives of countless children, then and now. Today, a little more than 200 years after his birth, St. Bosco’s followers are in 129 countries and are recognized as the third largest missionary organization in the world. White Oak JAMES L.
