July is month of festivals, fun and (hopefully) sun. Just in case it rains, you can keep the young people in your life occupied by taking a look at our selection of children's books, including some activity books. Or treat yourself to a good read while relaxing in the sun.

You can read more about the life and work of Saint John Bosco here

O Saint John Bosco, Father, Teacher, and Friend of Youth,
you have labored so much for the salvation of souls:
teach me to be patient and gentle as I seek the good of my own soul and the souls of my neighbor.
Three great loves gave purpose and meaning to your earthly life:
help me deepen my own reverence to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
devotion to Mary Help of Christians, and loyalty to our Holy Father the Pope.
