Collection: ๐Ÿ“š St. Pier Giorgio Frassati

Pier Giorgio Frassati was an Italian layman known for his vibrant faith, deep charity, and love for the poor. Born into a wealthy family, he chose to live a life of humility and service, often giving away his possessions and money to those in need. A lover of the outdoors, he hiked and skied with friends, always infusing fun with his deep love for Christ. A Third Order Dominican, he drew strength from the Eucharist, daily prayer, and devotion to Our Lady. He died at just 24 from polio likely contracted from his work among the sick. Called the "Man of the Beatitudes" by Pope John Paul II, he is a model for young people striving to live holiness in the modern world.
