From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominic Savio (April 2, 1842 - March 9, 1857)[3] (Italian: Domenico Savio)[4] was an Italian adolescent who died at the age of fourteen. (24 days short of his fifteenth birthday) [5] He had become a pupil of John Bosco at the age of 12, and was studying to become a priest when he took ill and died, possibly from pleurisy.[6] He was canonised a Saint on June 12, 1954 by Pope Pius XII,[7] and is the youngest non-martyr to be canonised in the Catholic Church.[8] Dominic Savio is different from other saints in his age group ( for example, Maria Goretti or Ponticus of Lyons[9] ) since Savio was declared a Saint not because he was a martyr, but since he was judged to have displayed "heroic virtue" in his everyday life.[10]
