------------------------------

For years, Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925) has been a significant global patron for youth, young adults, athletes, and "ordinary people" - and has a special place in the hearts of many young people across the United States and around the world. His example of Gospel living continues to inspire people a century after his death.

St. John Paul II declared him a patron for World Youth Days and deemed him the "Man of the Beatitudes" as he exemplified those blessings in his everyday life. Pope Francis listed him (CV 60) among the twelve exemplary saints for all young people in his apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit, "who devoted their lives to Christ... precious reflections of the young Christ; their radiant witness encourages us and awakens us from our lethargy" (CV 49). Pope Francis echoed St. John Paul II by noting Frassati "was a young man filled with a joy that swept everything along with it, a joy that overcame many difficulties in his life" (CV 60).
