Catholic Bible & Saint Stories for Kids

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.

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

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.
