I was searching for a young Saint to introduce to our parish's youth at Vacation Bible School this summer when I came across Blessed Pier Giorgio in my studies to become a Lay Dominican. The youth were very inspired. They came up with lists of people they wanted to do good things for. Most importantly, they were very happy to attend Adoration just as Bl. Pier Giorgio loved. This was the first time for most of the youth we took to Adoration and some who were not Catholic left saying that they really wanted to be Catholic because Adoration was so great. The closeness the youth felt to Christ after VBS was definitely a grace bestowed on them through the work of Blessed Pier Giorgio.
