Thousands flocked to see the relics of St John Bosco as they toured Scotland last week, a testament to what Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow called the ‘enduring and inspiring’ power of the Salesian founder to inspire young Catholics.

The casket containing the relics of St John Bosco visited St Andrew’s Cathedral and St Francis Xavier’s, Carfin, last Friday and Saturday for powerful spiritual celebrations, beginning the UK tour as part of the relics’ pilgrim journey through 130 nations in preparation for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Don Bosco’s birth on August 16, 1815.

Great to hear! I went to a Salesian school in Surrey and this makes great reading! Thanks for the heads up.
