Raised on Pittsburgh's North Side,[2] Bosco graduated from North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh and attended St. Fidelis Seminary in Butler County and St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Pittsburgh on June 7, 1952.
Bosco held a variety of positions in the Pittsburgh chancery and was named a monsignor in 1968. During part of that time, he was a chaplain and instructor at Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Pittsburgh.[3]
He was consecrated bishop for the Diocese of Pittsburgh on June 30, 1970, and served there as an auxiliary bishop[4]
Bosco was appointed bishop of the Diocese of Greensburg on April 2, 1987 after Bishop Connare retired. Bosco was later installed on June 30, 1987.[5]
Bosco retired on March 4, 2004. He died on July 2, 2013 at his residence in Greensburg.
