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.
