Written in a first-person style, the book reimagines Dominic Savio, who died at the age of 14, as a contemporary “faith influencer” navigating the digital age. Each of the eight chapters reflects on major themes of his life—faith-filled family roots, deep love for God, joy in holiness, the power to inspire peers, and serenity in facing death—offering both spiritual depth and youthful relatability.

 “Like you, Dominic Savio journeyed the pressures of his era with courage and creativity,” Fr Choondal said at the launch. “He faced peer pressure, wrestled with imperfections, and still chose a path that was joyful and holy. His story resonates with today’s young people who seek something real amid fleeting digital distractions.”

Fr Choondal, a catechist with over 30 years of experience, believes Savio’s life can serve as a moral compass in an age shaped by social media and artificial intelligence. “Dominic is not a saint from a distant past. He is someone who understands the digital generation’s fears, hopes, and daily battles,” he said. “Faith need not feel like a burden—it can be a vibrant source of purpose and joy.”

 The book Dominic Savio: A Faith Influencer for All Time blends storytelling with spiritual insight, making the legacy of this young saint feel surprisingly current. For those searching for meaningful role models, Fr Choondal offers Dominic Savio not only as a saint but as a companion—one who, even in the short span of his life, continues to light the path for new generations.
