On July 4th, we celebrate the feast day of newly canonized Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati. Pier Giorgio brought comfort to the poor, suffering and homeless of Italy, was a youth leaderin Catholic social justice and charitable organizations, and was an avid mountain climber. He died of polio at the age of 24. On July 6th, we celebrate the feast day of Saint Maria Goretti who was martyred at the young age of 11. Join us in viewing a film presentation that examines how these young saints exemplified the Beatitudes. Hopefully, we will be inspired by their example to practice the Beatitudes in our everyday lives, as well.
