Living for the Young

A life dedicated to serving poor and abandoned youth, in order to transmit the faith and allow them to experience Christian charity: this was the life of Saint Leonard Murialdo. Born in Turin, Italy on October 26, 1828, into a simple family, at the age of eight he was sent to a boarding school in Savona run by the Piarist Fathers, where he remained from 1836 to 1843.
