St. Dominc Savio Report
Dominic Savio
Saint Dominic Savio was born and raised in Italy. Where he attended the school of St.
John Bosco. John became a mentor to him. To this day he is the youngest saint ever to be
canonized by the catholic church without being some kind of martyr. When he was just 4 years
old he would pray almost every chance he got. He would go to church every morning and he
knelt outside in any kind of weather while waiting for the priest to come and unlock the doors.
At age 5 he became an altar boy, and when he was just 7 he wrote 4 rules in his journal. They
read the following: I will go to Confession often, and as frequently to Holy Communion as my
confessor allows. I wish to sanctify the Sundays and festivals in a special manner. My friends
shall be Jesus and Mary. Death rather than sin. His motto was “I can do big things, but I want
everything to be for the glory of God”. He died at age 14, 1857. He was canonized in 1954 by
Pope Pius XII.
