Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati and St. Wenceslas(work in progress)
Who was Pier Giorgio Frassati?
Pier Giorgio Frassati was a rich, handsome, athletic young man from an aristocratic Italian family. At a young age he began to develop a deep spiritual life. When Pier Giorgio's parents discouraged his religious involvement he began to secretly minister to the poor. He died of polio at age 24. He has been described by our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, as "a man of the eight beatitudes, a modern youth and a great mountaineer who was keenly interested in the problems of culture, sports, and social questions, as well as the true values of life." - http://www.frassatiusa.org/
