Inspired by the challenging teachings of St. Francis de Sales, Bosco set out to create an education system based on charity and love, instead of fear and punishment. This was groundbreaking, and he proved to be ahead of his time.

Here are several rare photographs of Don Bosco, a priest with a truly joyful soul, ready to exercise charity in all that he did.
