Blessed Lucien Botovasoa

Blessed Lucien Botovasoa, born in 1908 in Vohipeno, Madagascar, was the eldest of nine children. At the age of 10, in 1918, he received the sacrament of baptism, and four years later, at the age of 14, he made his First Communion in 1922. Lucien's love for education and his strong faith prompted him to study at the Jesuit Saint Joseph College from 1922 to 1927, where he developed a passion for teaching.
