Don Bosco’s motto: “Give me souls, take away the rest.” expresses his zeal for the salvation of the young. The overriding concern for the spiritual welfare of the young that animated Don Bosco’s life still animates his schools today. Therefore, great emphasis is given to religious formation.
As a Catholic School, it requires all students to study the Catholic faith as a regular academic subject. Besides what is laid down in the commandments of God and of the Catholic church, students are expected to:
Raise their minds to God every morning and evening through personal and communal prayers;
Participate in the Eucharistic Celebration on Sundays and Holy Days of obligation;
Meet Christ in the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a month and to receive Holy Communion as often as they can;
Develop a filial love for Mary and loyalty to the Pope, the visible Vicar of Christ on earth;
Consider St. John Bosco as father, teacher and friend emulating St. Dominic Savio, the model of holiness;
Participate in recollections and retreats intended for their spiritual growth and personality development; and,
Participate in all other religious activities organized by the school.

LIVE PURE CONCERT
Delegates from Don Bosco Tarlac were present together with other Don Bosco settings at the 12th Live Pure Conference at the Ynares Sports Arena on October 14.
With the theme "Made Good", this year's Live Pure Conference focused on the good of sexuality through chastity.
"We want to remind young people about the beauty of our sexuality or the authentic manhood and womanhood," stated Live Pure National Coordinator Mr. Jam Michaelson.
Said conference began with a holy rosary led by Theodosia Kyla Barrozo and Carl Janzhen Malihan of DB-Tarlac, followed by the celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided by Fr. Juvrlan Samia, SBD, with Fr. Jose Isidro Torres, SDB.
After various talks by multiple invited speakers, the festivities ended with a concert from Universal Records' Issa Rodriguez and 4-piece indie alternative-folk band the Ridley's.
"I have been part of the Live Pure for more than four years. I have been serving different communities for this conference, but this is the first time that God has allowed me to be the speaker, and it was really memorable because I got to share my personal stories, and I also get to experience yung joy ng mga kabataan as I give the session," main session speaker Jhoie Cerdon commented.
