Pier Giorgio Frassati Mountaineer of the Spirit Table Number

A vibrant and inspiring portrayal of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901–1925), the Italian layman whose joyful holiness continues to captivate young people around the world. According to Wikipedia, he was born in Turin on 6 April 1901 into a prominent family: his father, Alfredo Frassati, founded the newspaper La Stampa, while his mother, Adelaide Ametis, was a respected artist. The official canonization committee notes that he attended daily Mass, spent hours in Eucharistic adoration, and tirelessly served the poor of Turin — often in secret. He carried food, medicine, and furniture to the needy, calling them “his masters.” His death came suddenly at age 24, caused by polio, likely contracted during his visits to the sick. His family, unaware of his hidden charity, was astonished when crowds of the poor arrived at his funeral. Wikipedia confirms his beatification by Pope John Paul II in 1990, and he is scheduled for canonization on 7 September 2025. Ideal for inspirational prints, youth ministry materials, vocation‑themed designs, and art celebrating modern sanctity, courage, and joyful service.
