Oratory

Each development of John Bosco’s work, from the original oratory to the schools and the missions, was for the purpose of “education.” At each stage, John applied his system of prevention and the oratory model in a manner appropriate to setting up a suitable educative environment. The Oratory Model is based on the experience of the Home, School, Church, and Playground. In everything, John Bosco sought to make these elements alive.

HOME: What makes this place welcoming?

SCHOOL: What can be learned here?

CHURCH: What is the element of prayer, inspiration, faith?

PLAYGROUND: What makes this place interesting or fun?
