I first learnt about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frasating during World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, Australia. I was very fortunate to have the grace of being in his presence during the time that his body was kept in a casket at St Benedicts Church. At the time, I was also a University student and doing engineering as my chosen profession. Because of this I felt I could relate a lot to Blessed pier Giorgio's life and was drawn to his character in the faith.
During the year 2012, I established an adventure group within my Maronite Church youth community that has received tremendous support and success. Many adventures have taken place and many young faithful have come to learn of this remarkable persons life. I believe that he continues to watch over me and the group and continues to offer much insight into the often difficult journey of holy sanctity.
