This coming week (while we are praying the novena in honor of Pier Giorgio's birthday), you can watch a program about him on EWTN. Bob and Penny Lord have informed me that their upcoming episode of "Super Saints" featuring Pier Giorgio will air as follows:
We are just a few days away from the start of the wonderful "Novena in the Year of St. Paul Remembering Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati on his 108th Birthday."
For those of you who so generously include the work of FrassatiUSA in your prayers, I have a special intention. In the next few days, I will be bringing Pier Giorgio's message ("Holiness is for everyone!") to three different groups in San Antonio, Texas.
If you are a Facebook person, you may have discovered (like I did) that there are many clubs and pages dedicated to Pier Giorgio Frassati. About a year ago, we posted a page under the name "Pier Giorgio Frassati" just to have a place for accurate info on Facebook.
Join hundreds of young adults at the Boston Eucharistic Congress on April 3-4, 2009! The event features Eucharistic Adoration, a Eucharistic Procession, Mass celebrated by Cardinal Sean O'Malley and much more! Pier Giorgio's devotion to the Eucharist and the poor will be the subject of a presentation by Christine Wohar, executive director of FrassatiUSA. The event is free but you need to register!
If so, mark your calendars and plan to come to a presentation on Pier Giorgio at St. Ann's parish. Christine Wohar, executive director of FrassatiUSA, will be the featured speaker on Wednesday, March 11, at 6:00 p.m., in the church hall.
