Blessed Michele Rua (†1910) was a Salesian priest and the first successor to St. John Bosco as Rector Major of the Salesian Society. Entering the Salesian Oratory at 15, he was mentored by Don Bosco, becoming a priest in 1860. Known for his fidelity to Bosco’s mission, Rua expanded the Salesians’ work, establishing schools and missions globally. His leadership emphasized education and care for youth, earning him the title “living rule” for his adherence to Salesian principles. Despite frail health, he served until his death. He was beatified by Pope Paul VI on 29 October 1972, and his feast day is celebrated on October 29.
