The story is archived inMemoirs of the Oratory– an autobiographical, spiritual, and pedagogical text of Don Bosco. It is clear from the text that there is a direct and essential dependence between fulfilling the mission and recognizing God in the Salesian spirituality. Education is not only social or cultural activity, but a space where Johnny Bosco meets God – a spiritual space as such. Key words John Bosco, unknown apparition, spiritual experience, education Marek Wiesenganger
