To the Heights: Formation in the Footsteps of Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati

Known as the “man of the Beatitudes,” Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati lived with contagious joy, deep faith, and a bold love for others. Even a century after his death, his life continues to inspire young people, leaders, and the Church around the world. What lessons can ministry leaders today learn from this adventurous mountaineer and servant of the poor?

Join author, speaker, and former Catholic school educator Bobby Angel for a practical and inspiring look at Frassati’s example of holiness. Discover how his virtues can shape your leadership, renew your sense of mission, and help you guide others “to the heights” of where God is calling them.

Faithful Reason and Reasonable Faith

Some people think of faith and reason like two UFC fighters locked in the octagon fighting it out. But according to the Catholic tradition, faith and reason are not opposed. Faith and reason are not like two fighters, but like two wings that allow us to fly towards the truth who is God. Rather than think that we must choose either reason (philosophy, science, etc.) or faith (revelation, scripture, etc.), it turns out we can have a reasonable faith and a faithful reason. Faith and reason are not enemies, but friends.

In this webinar, Christopher Kaczor, author of Is Belief Believable?, explores how reason can help us—and those we minister to—in our journey of faith.
