St. Pier Giorgio Frassati (Part 1): Little Giorgio Learns to Love

Meet St. Pier Giorgio Frassati—one of the Church's newest saints—in this true Catholic saint story for kids and families. Discover the childhood of the little boy called "Dodo," whose compassion, courage, and growing love for others would one day inspire Catholics around the world.

Little Giorgio loved exploring the outdoors, bringing home frogs, snakes, and even eggs he hoped would hatch. But he also had an extraordinary heart for people. Hear the true stories of the day he gave away his own shoes to a poor child, befriended a lonely boy everyone else avoided, and learned that holiness isn't about never falling—it's about getting back up and learning to love.

Children will also discover that even saints struggled. Giorgio argued with his little sister, told lies he later regretted, and kept trying to become the person God was calling him to be.

We'll conclude with a simple family prayer and reflection on the virtue of charity—loving others by seeking their good.

Perfect for Catholic families, classrooms, homeschoolers, bedtime, car rides, and anyone who enjoys inspiring saint stories.
