Fr. McClane will lead a discussion group for teens on the life of Blessed Pier Giorgio, a model of holiness for young people. Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy into a family of wealth and status, Pier Giorgio enjoyed good friends, hiking and skiing, museums and music, and was involved in political action. He found that deep prayer, service to the poor, and a passion for bringing others to Christ led to a life of purpose, peace, and happiness. Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 on July 4, 1925. He was beatified on May 20, 1990 by Pope St. John Paul II who referred to him as a “man of the beatitudes”.
The group is for teens in 8th to 12th grade and will meet on
September 23 & 30 at 4:30 pm in Bachmann Hall. Pizza will be served!
