In 1842, Dominic Savio was born near Turin, Italy. As a boy, he devoted his life to Jesus and Mary. He encouraged his classmates to say the Rosary and to avoid sin. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in Dominic's footprints who chose to avoid sin and to grow in holiness so he could be with Jesus and Mary in heaven.
