As a young adult, I learned about Pier-Giorgio while managing a chain of exclusively Catholic bookstores. At the age of 47, I enrolled in university to become a social worker andwas greatly influenced by Frassati's own involvement in Catholic social service and social action. I am now a licensed social worker and mental health therapist and keep Pier-Giorgio's picture as my screen saver on my laptop at work. As a professional, I must respect religious diversity and do not openly proselytize, but when clients see the picture and ask about him, I share his story andmany of them are touched by the witness of his life. I have personally chosen Pier-Giorgio as my patron and proffer him as an official Patron of Social Work(ers). If Pier-Giorgio was canonized, his influence and witness would only be strengthened.--Mariette
Testimony of Giraud from France
It's enough for me to say that Pier Girogio helped my brother to go to Heaven, and a friend, suffering a lot, to battle cancer. Thank you so much Pier Giorgio. I like your humility, happiness and discretion in charity.
Testimony of Tanguy from France
PGF has always been a model for me : starting everyday by the mass, spending times with his friends and serving poors. I am doing my best to live that way, even if it was particularly exceptional.
Testimony of Alessandro from France
I have been serving in Lourdes since 2009 as the Chairman of the Bureau des Constatations Médicales (the Office of Medical Observations), where I meet and work with several thousands of Physicians and Health Care Professionals. I'm astonished of the great number of such professionals - and of the volunteers serving the sick - that in Lourdes have asked me - being an italian - of Blessed Piergiorgio Frassati. People - and mostly young people - from many different Countries of the World.
Holy Father! Please make Piergiorgio Frassati a Saint !!!
Testimony of Cazenave from France
PGF is a great exemple of being a saint in the city.
Let make him an official saint for sharing more and more the gospel of the poor and for the poor. I met Pier-Giorgio 10 years ago and his example of being a christian of his time has been a real motor for my own faith.
Testimony of Linda from USA
He inspires me to care for something, to have a cause, and always, always keep Jesus at the center.
Testimony of Gillian from England
I have a little book about his life and find him very attractive as a person and very human and inspiring to relate to. Please God, he may be canonised and inspire our young people even more powerfully.
Testimony of Vincent from USA
I have researched his life & accomplishments thru books, pamphlets, seminars & videos over five + years and have become convinced that he is truly a saint and as a canonized saint of the Church he will serve as a genuine role model for our youth. His spirituality coupled with his human traits of athleticism, humor and dedication to helping the poor will convince other youth today that it is possible to live in today's hedonistic world and still be Christlike in our dedication to the Eucharist & become beacons by helping the poor.
Testimony of Katarzyna from Polska
Pier Giorgio is present in my life despite I am not a student anymore. I know that I can rely on him during good times and hard times. I had the joy of praying at relics and it was unforgettable moment. I admire his strength, positive energy and openess towards others needs.
Testimony of Derek from USA
Frassati is the patron of my fianceé and I; he has won many victories for us.
Testimony of Grant from USA
I have a poster with one of his quotes in my room!
Testimony of Grayson from USA
Pier Giorgio's holiness shines out to me in two major ways: his joy and his love for the poor. Santo subito!
Testimony of Fabian from Costa Rica
He looked for me!
Testimony of Janneke from Belgium
For almost 20 years I've been a part of these youth movement named KSA Frassati, named after Pier Giorgio Frassati. It would mean a lot to all of our members of Frassati was canonized for his noble work with children all over the world
Testimony of Katie from USA
I am a convert coming into the faith. I have considered choosing Pier Giorgio as my patron saint. There is something so relatable about him. The things he did were good, and holy, and wonderful, and...attainable. I could do those things! That's why Pier Giorgio inspires and motivates me so much, and while he may not have been martyred, he certainly died a noble and self-sacrificing death. I pray I die so well.
Testimony of Michael from USA
I came to know Pier Giorgio Frassati through my pastor, Father John Lydon, O.P. Through his intercession, he has made me more aware of the needs of others and empowered me to serve God through outreach and compassion. When I see how he opened his heart to all and brought God's Kingdom to those in need, I am strengthened to follow his example. He makes the Holy Spirit burn like fire in my heart. God bless Pier Giorgio Frassati and all those who he helps!
Testimony of Julia from USA
Blessed Pier Giorgio is the Saint who our youth group (Life Teen) is centered around. We are always connecting our lives to him. There is a college group called Frassati Society. Due to what I believe is the Holy Spirit, Bl. Pier Giorgio is always coming up around our Parish in different ways. I know he is always there for and with the youth throughout Life Teen, and I turn to him during whatever may happen in my life. He has become a role model for not only the youth, both high school and college, but I know our Core Team (adult leaders) turn to him for guidance in order to lead the teens the way God wanted us to be lead!
Testimony of Gabriel from Australia
I do believe that Bl. Pier Giorgio got me into youth groups and this has strengthened my faith.
Testimony of Jaime from USA
I have been blessed by the Frassati Society in NYC. Although I don't yet have a personal connection with Blessed Georgio, I have met over 100 people through this group and seen the power of young adult Catholic community.
Testimony of Marita from USA
Blessed Pier Giorgio became my favorite saint because I feel like I can relate to him so much. He loves nature and hiking and sports and has many friends which I can relate to. He was a normal guy but was a witness and an incredible catholic in his situation and it is just really inspiring because we can all live out our faith in our every day lives just like Pier Giorgio❤️
