WE’RE BACK AFTER A 7-MONTH HIATUS!

During those seven months, we planned a wedding, got married, and celebrated the canonization of St. Carlo Acutis and St. Pier Giorgio Frassati!

SAINT CARLO ACUTIS

St. Carlo Acutis is the patron Saint of computer programmers, and his Feast Day has been established for October 12. He was an Italian Catholic born in London on the 3rd of May, A.D. 1991 and was raised in Milan. At an early age, St. Carlo began to learn programming and web design. He later started to document Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions by creating a website while also serving as a catechist for his parish. At age 15, he was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and passed away several days later, on the 12th of October, A.D. 2006.

SAINT PIER GIORGIO FRASSATI

St. Pier Giorgio Frassati is the patron Saint of young Catholics and mountaineers, and his Feast Day is July 4. St. Pier Giorgio was an Italian Catholic born on Holy Saturday, the 6th of April, A.D. 1901 in Turin. He was a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic, was dedicated to social justice issues, and joined several charitable organizations. He also loved to swim and climb mountains, so this love, in addition to his fervent faith, led him to his personal motto of “Verso L’Alto” (“To the heights”). At the age of 24, St. Pier Giorgio Frassati was diagnosed with Polio and passed away 2 days later, on the 4th of July, A.D. 1925.
