The Parroquia de San Juan Bosco stands tall on Calle 8, a beacon of faith and education in Cali. In 1956, it was officially established as a parish, becoming a cornerstone for the community. This parish is intertwined with a long history of contributing to the development of Cali. It all started in 1934 with the vision of Bishop Luis Adriano Díaz, who wanted to establish a school for arts and trades in the city. The Salesians, renowned for their work with young people, embraced this idea. The first building of the school arose in downtown Cali, but a new location became necessary to accommodate its growth. So they moved to the site where you see the Parroquia de San Juan Bosco today. It was initially just an oratory while workshops were constructed. However, the dream of a parish was born, and it eventually took its form in 1956. The Parroquia de San Juan Bosco is a symbol of the dedication that these Salesians had for educating and uplifting the local youth.
