Verso l'alto
Verso l'alto/To the Heights
Blessed Pier Gorgio Frassati
Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy, Pier Giorgio lived with a deep love for the Eucharist and a passion for helping the poor. A true adventurer, he found God in nature, often hiking and mountaineering, and his zest for life was matched only by his commitment to social justice and his care for the marginalized.
Though he died at just 24 from polio, likely contracted while helping those in need, Pier Giorgio’s legacy continues to inspire. His funeral was attended by thousands, a testament to the profound impact he had on his community. Beatified in 1981 by Pope John Paul II, he remains a shining example of how to live a life fully committed to Christ, especially through love, joy, and action. One of his favorite mottos, "Verso l’alto" ("To the Heights"), was a constant reminder to strive for the highest ideals and to seek the greatness of God in all things.
Today, Blessed Pier Giorgio is a patron for young people, a model of holiness who shows us how to balance adventure, social responsibility, and deep faith. His life reminds us that we are all called to love radically, live joyfully, and seek God in every corner of life.
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati,
pray for us!
Let customers speak for us
from 5 reviewsA true marvel of a rosary. Each detail is very thoughtful, and I especially enjoy the homage to St. Kolbe and his religious order, the M.I. I believe the saint himself would be very pleased with this rosary. Please support this family business. Don’t think twice buy rosaries for you and your loved ones. Ave Maria, Christ is Risen!
I purchased 3 rosary’s as gifts, they came packaged well in there own drawstring bags. They matched the description and pictures. I’m confident these rosary’s will be loved and not be destroyed or pulled apart by little curious hands. Thanks for making such a nice quality product!
It is better than pictured and exactly what i was looking for. Initially i thought the rings on the medal werent going to be strong long term but it is sturdy and beautiful and perfectly designed. one detail that i love is that the decades have a little slack between. i have had other “tough” rosaries that bunch the beads way too toght so i dont have that satisfying click when i am praying through. this one does! it is perfect. and the accompanying note by the seller was such a beautiful touch. amazing work.
I purchased this Rosary a few weeks back and I like it a lot, well crafted and durable. Amazing job !!🤩
