6/25/25 - Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was an Italian layman who combined a deep spiritual life with a passion for social justice and adventure. Born in 1901 to a wealthy family in Turin, Frassati chose a life of simplicity and service over privilege. He was an avid mountain climber, a student of engineering, and a committed member of Catholic Action and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Despite his short life (he died at just 24 from polio contracted while serving the poor), Frassati left behind a legacy of holiness that continues to inspire young people around the world. He attended daily Mass, spent hours in Eucharistic Adoration, and fearlessly defended the dignity of the marginalized during a time of political unrest in Italy. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II, who called him "a man of the Beatitudes."
