Vatican City, Aug 23, 2017 / 09:01 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Ahead of the 2018 synod on youth in Rome, a group of Catholic young people are asking for testimonies and signatures in support of the canonization of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.

“We ask for this canonization because Bl. Pier Giorgio is in a special way 'one of us' – a young person,” organizers said in a letter to Pope Francis posted on their website.
