Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, pictured in an undated photo, was a struggling student who excelled in mountain climbing. He had complete faith in God and persevered through college, dedicating himself to helping the poor and supporting church social teaching. He died at age 24 and was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1990. Blessed Frassati will be canonized Sept. 7, 2025, along with Blessed Carlo Acutis. (OSV News photo/Catholic Press Photo)
