Born on April 6, 1901, in Turin, Italy, Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati was raised in a wealthy and influential family. Yet, instead of pursuing a life of comfort, he poured out his short 24 years in joyful service to Christ and the poor. Known as the “Man of the Beatitudes,” Pier Giorgio’s radiant example continues to inspire young and old alike to live generously, courageously, and faithfully.

This is a beautiful sacramental to keep in your home, carry with you, or use in prayer for the intercession of this remarkable young saint.
