Award For Adult Leaders



Description

The Don Bosco Award is a high recognition presented to adults for outstanding leadership and service to their church and community.  Don Bosco was canonized for his sacrifice in helping youth develop to be honest citizens and good Christians. Pope John Paul II gave St. John Bosco the title "the friend and teacher of the young and the poor". The Salesian congregation continues to be a model of youth ministry and engaging youth effectively in the church today. We hope to honor and recognize adults who in our community demonstrate the characteristics of Don Bosco.
