JOHN BASCO-FRIEND OF YOUTH St. John Basco was born August 16, 1815, in the old Kingdom of Piedmont He suffered many hardships when but a youth, in order to be able to teach the truths of religion to other boys whom he knew were not bad, but who would have drifted into evil had no one cared for them. This was John Basco's ideal. On March 7, 1841 he was ordained a priest and in December 1859 he founded a new Religious Society which placed itself under the protection of St. Francis de Sales. He also founded the Daughters of Our Lady Help of Christians, a new Religious Society, in 1872. The story of his life is full of marvellous dreams, and if we were to disregard entirely these manifestations of the supernatural there would be many facts in his life which would be extremely difficult to explain. After leading such a glorious life, without a penny in his pocket, St. John Basco died on February 1, 1888.
