Starting in Turin, the city where Frassati was born and raised, the pilgrims visit the places he prayed, served the poor, and lived out his deep Catholic faith — all while coming to understand how his joy, charity, and love for God continue to inspire young people today. 

Led by Fr. Vincent Berhnard, O.P., the journey takes them to breathtaking locations like the Sanctuary of Oropa, where they climb the same mountain Frassati once hiked; Pollone, where they explore his family’s summer home; and Rome, where they pray at his tomb and conclude their pilgrimage with Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica. 

Along the way, the pilgrims share how the experience is challenging them physically, inspiring them spiritually, and giving them a deeper sense of purpose — following Frassati’s motto to “live to the fullest” and “verso l’alto” (“to the heights”). 

Locations visited: 

• Turin – Birthplace of Pier Giorgio Frassati
• Sanctuary of Oropa – Mountain pilgrimage
• Pollone – Frassati family summer home
• Rome – Tomb of Pier Giorgio & St. Peter’s Basilica
