St. John Bosco’s
Vision of the Two Pillars
This powerful image illustrates a prophetic dream of St. John Bosco, in which he saw the Church – symbolized by a great ship – battling storms and attacks at sea. The ship finds safety only when anchored between two mighty pillars: the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin Mary. This vision reminds us that the Church will weather the storms and be guided safely to the haven of salvation through devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and trust in Our Lady. It is a timeless call to remain centered on Christ and guided by Mary in turbulent times.
Help us as we proclaim Christ to a world that has silenced Him – reawakening hearts, restoring truth, and calling souls home.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit apostolate, Pillars of Faith exists to uphold the truth, proclaim Christ without compromise, and labor for the salvation of souls. If you feel called to support this mission through prayer, offering, or other means, we welcome your partnership in the work Christ has entrusted to us.
