Canonization to Sainthood in August, 2025, Pier Giorgio Frassati represents a different kind of saint from the usual. He was not a priest or member of a religious order. He was a young layman whose prominent desire was to help the poor and needy in his hometown of Turin, Italy. He loved sports, loved to do pranks on his friends, was very creative both in education and his love for Latin and Dante, opera, theater and art museums. He desired to always be close to his group of friends especially in a spiritual relationship.
