At thirteen, John left home and went to work with a farmer, then a beaker, a tailor, shoemaker and a capenter. In this way he walk himself through college and semonary and became a priest
Boys love father John. He founded a place for then to meet, play and pray. When neighbours complain about the noise, Father John rented an old barn in a field. He called it "The Oratory". He started many of his oratories. He belived that prayer and the sacraments are the best way of makinng boys good.
