About this event

This is a trip for young Catholics (in their 20s and 30s) that will introduce you to the world of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati. You'll spend your days at the following locations.

Turin: Visit the Cathedral and other churches and sites relevant to the life of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati

Pollone: Visit the Villa Ametis Frassati, the family home of Bl. Pier Giorgio; see his own room and personal effects, and celebrate Mass there.

Oropa: Visit the mountain shrine of Oropa, home to an ancient statue of the Blessed Mother and Jesus brought there by St. Eusebius in the 300s.

Hike in the Alps: Staying overnight in a "rifugio" (mountain hostel), summit three alpine peaks on an all-day hike culminating with Mass on the Mountain at the Poggio Frassati.

Fr. Pier Giorgio Dengler, OP will lead young adults from both the heartland of Kentucky and the high-rises of the Big Apple "to the heights" of northern Italy. Alongside amazing peers, and in touch with the inspiring grit and beauty of alpine pilgrimage paths, you're sure to deepen your faith and friendships in one wondrous week.
