Do you mean St. John Bosco. The Catholic monk who was an acrobat, juggler, and all around street performer in Italy several hundred years ago, or some other Saint?
For St. John Bosco's day I would go out and busk in the street to save souls, like the man who St. John Bosco's day was named after. St. John Bosco is also the patron saint of jugglers, so perhaps you can observe his day by trying to learn how to juggle. St.John Bosco would busk in the street until he got a crowd, and then he would preach the word of God to the assembled crowd.

My apologies his Italian name was Giovanni, which can be either John, or Don in English. When he was a young man he would put on one man juggling, magic, and acrobatic shows, and the price of admission to these shows was one prayer each. He was the founder of the Salesian order of priests and spent most of his time educating the poor children of the streets.
As a life long juggler I felt obligated to share with you the story of this 19th century Saint.
