Last time we met little Giorgio and watched God begin teaching him how to love. In Part 2, that love continues to grow.

Walk beside St. Pier Giorgio Frassati as a young man through the streets of Turin, the poor neighborhoods he faithfully served, the friendships he cherished, and the mountains he loved to climb. Discover how daily Mass, prayer, Confession, and the Eucharist transformed an ordinary young man into one of the Church's most beloved modern saints.

Pier Giorgio's famous motto, Verso l'Alto—"To the Heights!"—wasn't just about climbing mountains. It was about taking one faithful step at a time toward Jesus.

In this episode, children and families will discover that we don't become saints overnight. We grow one faithful step at a time, with Jesus at the center.

In this episode:
• The true story of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati
Verso l'Alto—"To the Heights!"
• Daily Mass, prayer, and the Eucharist
• Friendship, charity, and perseverance
• A family reflection, prayer, and discussion questions

Perfect for Catholic families, classrooms, bedtime, car rides, and anyone who wants to learn how ordinary faithfulness leads to extraordinary holiness.
