Who am I?

I was born on a poor farm near Turin, Italy in 1815.
This admirable "Apostle of Youth" is almost our contemporary. He founded the Salesian Society of St. Francis de Sales and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. His life's work was consecrated to the care of young boys and girls. By the time of his death, there were 64 Salesian foundations in Europe and the Americas and almost 800 Salesian priests. He died in 1888, and was canonized by Pope Pius Xl in 1934.

I will post the answer soon unless someone comes up with the right answer.
Love All Ya All,
Barb

Aurelia didn't really know. She just googled the answer! I knew, because we have a church and school just down the street named for him!
