About Pier Giorgio Frassati
Pier Giorgio Frassati, is a role model of young adults, also known as the Man of the Eight Beatitudes. A beloved
favorite of Pope John Paul II. Pier was a lay person who was born from a rich and politically influential family, pious, chaste,
average student, outstanding athlete, outdoorsman, and extremely popular with his peers. Known for his practical jokes they
gave him the nickname “Terror”. He worked often with the Apostleship of Prayer, Young Catholic Workers Congress, Catholic
Student Federation, Catholic Action, and Milites Mariae. His strong Marian devotion and his deep devotion and love for the
Eucharist inspired him to spend his fortune on the needy and and his time visiting the sick. In late June 1925 Pier Giorgio was
afflicted by an acute attack of poliomyelitis which doctors later speculated he caught from the poor and sick whom he
tended. Neglecting his own health because his grandmother was dying, his illness was too
advanced for anyone to treat when doctors discovered how weak he was. Pier Giorgio died on
July 4, 1925, at the age of 24.
