Welcome to Frassati!
In his homily for the beatification of Pier Giorgio Frassati, Bl. John Paul II said,
"In him [Frassati], faith and everyday life went hand in hand, so that faithfulness to the Gospel translated into a loving concern for the poor and the needy, which continued until the very last days of the illness that claimed his life. His taste for beauty and for art, his passion for sport and for the mountains, his concern for the problems of society never stood in the way of his constant relationship with the Absolute. Everything was immersed in the mystery of God and everything was devoted to serving others..."
When we are drawn into the mystery of God, we find that we are never alone in knowing Him. We consider His gift that we should be together, and ‘it is good that we are here’. Together, God draws us ‘to the heights’ of His Love and promises to be with us as we ‘put out into the deep’.
‘Frassati’ has multiple facets. As young adults, we have a unique freedom with our time and energy. We know we want to grow personally, we want to be active members of our community. We also know that before we can give or go, we must be fed and rested. In light of these four things, the mission of Frassati is to provide opportunities for spiritual formation, intellectual growth, service opportunities, and holy leisure for the young adults in the Diocese of Lincoln.
