'+Synonyms+': Simply and always known as Don Bosco, the universal Church applies other titles: Father and teacher of youth, Founder, Patriarch.

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': Born at Castelnuovo d'Asti 14th August 1815, he was educated to faith and to a consistent practice of that faith by his mother, Mamma Margaret. At age 9 he had a dream which from then on he claimed gave him the direction for his life - the education of the young. By age 10 he was already gathering them for games and prayer. Ordained 1841 he took ''Da mihi animas caetera tolle'' as his life's motto. He developed a style and practice based on reason, religion and loving-kindness, known as the Preventive System and taught young people how to be reflective, to encounter Christ especially in one another. He educated them to faith, to a sacramental life and to practical charity and service. He died on 31st January 1888.

'+Context (examples of use)+':

'+Other notes+': Don Bosco preferred 'Don' as a personal reference (sac' or sacerdote is what he used in correspondence to sign off). The choice of Don over Padre in Italian is linked to the distinction in Italy between diocesan clergy who use Don and religious priests who use ''Padre''.

Italian often writes the term in lower case as don, though generally in references to Don Bosco in titles we would find it capitalised with 'D'.

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)
