Verso l’Alto!

Inspired by the life of heroic virtue exemplified by Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati, The Frassati Project aims to invite the youth into a life of abundance, fullness, and adventure with Jesus Christ.

In this Apostolic age, we believe that the best approach to community building and evangelization includes relational discipleship and intentional accompaniment. This means that we don’t just want to give people information or catechesis, we don’t want to just have surface level friendships - we want to build deep, authentic relationships that lead us to Christ. The Frassati Project brings this mindset into everything we do.

What is The Frassati Project?

Incarnational Youth Ministry Built on Relationship and Invitation

The youth of the current generation are under attack like never before. Children desperately need joyful and courageous witnesses to our faith from dynamic and engaging young people who are living a fulfilling and adventurous life AND are deeply in love with Christ and His Church! Youth ministry programs often have difficulty with finding committed and engaged volunteers, and The Frassati Project forms its leaders to step up and stand in the gap.

The Frassati Project’s leaders facilitate middle school and high school youth group gatherings called “Summit” twice per month, and also strive to go above & beyond. We go to their sporting events, school plays, etc. We get groups together to get coffee or lunch, or throw a frisbee at a park. We show up.
