Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati could be declared a saint during the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year, according to the head of the Vatican’s office for saints’ causes.

Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, announced on 26 April during Catholic Action’s national assembly that Frassati’s canonisation is “on the horizon”, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA), citing an article in Avvenire, the official newspaper of the Italian bishops’ conference.
