Feast day: May 6
St. Dominic Savio
A pupil of St. John Bosco who resolved to become a saint through ordinary schoolboy life, founded a sodality among his friends, and died of illness before his fifteenth birthday.
He is one of the youngest non-martyrs ever canonized — a teenager whose motto was simply 'Death rather than sin.'
“Death rather than sin.”
— St. Dominic Savio
