    I was looking for a story to tell to my grandson. I had two saints in mind. Don Bosco and Dominic Savio. Dominic Savio is truly a great little saint to be imitated by small children! He displayed great courage in his time. In our time we need it all the more. Thank you for this very interesting real life story of the saint.

I am very saddened by the way some boys at my school are behaving so that is why i am like this saint.

    IF ALL THE YOUTH WERE TOLD OF DOMINIC SAVIO, THE WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVOID OF SIN. DOMINC SAVIO IS THE RIGHT ROLE MODEL FOR ANY KID OF ANY COUNTRY AND TIME.

    I was looking for a saint to help me with my son who struggles with ADHD and behavior problems. I feel St. Dominic Savio will hear my prayers and help him.
