Saint Dominic Savio Young Disciple of Don Bosco Square Sticker

A pure and uplifting portrayal of Saint Dominic Savio (1842–1857), the young Italian student of Saint John Bosco whose short life became a radiant example of innocence, charity, and spiritual maturity. According to Wikipedia, Dominic was born on 2 April 1842 in Riva presso Chieri and died at only 14 years old on 9 March 1857, likely from a lung illness. Informazione Cattolica highlights his early devotion: serving Mass at age five, praying outdoors in rain or snow, and receiving First Communion at just seven years old, unusually early for the time. His encounter with Don Bosco in 1854 transformed his life. As Salesiani Don Bosco Lecce notes, Dominic embraced a path of holiness marked by joy, kindness, and service, eventually founding the Company of the Immaculate, a small group dedicated to charity and good example. Uniti nel Dono describes him as “the youngest saint in the history of the Church,” venerated as a protector of children, pregnant women, altar servers, and choirboys. He was beatified in 1950 and canonized in 1954 by Pope Pius XII. Ideal for devotional art, youth ministry materials, educational designs, and inspirational Christian imagery.
