"Let us leave a saint to write the life of a saint," is said to have been the exclamation of the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas Aquinas, when he entered the cell of his brother doctor, St. Bonaventure, and found him absorbed in writing the life of his spiritual father, St. Francis. The peculiar value of the present little book is that it may be said once more to present the spectacle of a saint writing the life of a saint. Only whereas in St. Bonaventure's case a son was writing the life of a father, in this case we have the unique example of a father writing the life of his spiritual son. The writer, the saintly Don Bosco, has already been declared Venerable, and the process for his Beatification is proceeding in Rome. Little Domenico Savio, whose biography was originally published by Don Bosco very shortly after the holy child's death, was, as will be seen, Don Bosco's spiritual child, and it is a subject of great joy to all his admirers that his cause also has at last been introduced at Rome with the approval of the Holy See. Note from St Athanasius Press. St Dominic Savio was canonized as the youngest non Martyr Saint on June 12, 1954 by Pope Pius XII. This biography written by St John Bosco of his pupil, Dominic Savio was a critical factor in his canonization.

Dominic Savio was born April 2, 1842, to a humble Italian family. From a young age, Dominic exhibited an unusual love for God. He was even allowed to make his First Holy Communion at seven rather than the normal age of twelve. However, we might know very little about his life if not for his mentor, St. John Bosco, who accepted Dominic into his school, the "Oratory of St. Francis de Sales," and who later wrote his biography. At the school, Dominic flourished intellectually and spiritually. Sadly, his health was fragile, and at the age of fifteen, on March 9, 1857, he died. He left behind an example of a happy, holy life. He also, indirectly, contributed to the creation of St. John Bosco's congregation of Salesians, which still exists worldwide today. Nine months before he died, Dominic formed the "Society of Mary Immaculate," through which he and the other members dedicated themselves to Christ and His Blessed Mother. Except for Dominic, all of the founding members became the first Salesian priests. This paper doll set highlights moments in Dominic's childhood as he serves at Mass, makes his First Holy Communion, visits the Blessed Sacrament, builds a Marian altar, studies, plays with his friends, and works hard to grow in holiness. This set includes 1 Saint Dominic doll (9" tall), 11 costumes, and over 40 accessories. This book was published through Amazon KDP. The paper weight is slightly thicker than ordinary printer paper. The paper weight is the same for both doll/s and costume/s. The artist recommends backing the doll/s with cardstock if a thicker doll is desired (the doll and costumes function perfectly without the added thickness, however).
