Summary: Mission to Love tells Don Bosco's story in dramatic and lively fashion. After an opening scene based on conflict with his archbishop, it flashes back to his life in Becchi. He narrates to his mother a part of his first dream, meets Fr. Calosso and
leaves home to study for the priesthood in Chieri, is ordained, goes to Turin and learns of the difficulties met there by young farm boys trying to make their way, and starts up his Oratory with Fr. Joseph Cafasso (canonized 1947) at his side. And it proceeds straightforwardly to the point where we started, and beyond, up to the firm establishment of the Salesians, who will continue the saint's work.
