Year 7 Saints Day – our Year 7 forms, presented their Saints to one another – St John Bosco, St Josephine Bakhita, St Oscar Romero, Mother Teresa, Bl Chiara Badano and St Pier Girogio Frassatti. After a very close vote, they chose one of our newest declared Saints as their Patron, St Pier Girogio Frassatti.
St Pier Giorgio, was born in 1901 in Turin to a wealthy family. St Pier Giorgio would take groups of his friends up to the mountains, hiking up to shrines where he would lead the rosary. In Turin, he would visit the sick as part of the Catholic Action group and used Catholic Social Teaching, to demonstrate for workers rights in the new factories being opened. He died at the age of 24 (probably from Polio) picked up from his visiting of the sick and poor. He was declared a Saint by Pope Leo XIV, in September 2025.
A great Saint for our Year 7 students to follow as their Patron! 💜🧡🙏🏻
