On January 19, 2026, the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross hosted the premiere of a new film dedicated to the life of Pier Giorgio Frassati, produced by Adoray. The event brought together students, professors, and guests to rediscover the luminous witness of the young saint from Turin. Among those present was Nicholas Koch, resident of Sedes Sapientiae and lead actor in the film, who shared insights into the artistic and spiritual journey behind the project.
The premiere was further enriched by the presence of Wanda Gawrońska, niece of the saint, and Fr. Juan Manuel Gutiérrez, a 39‑year‑old Mexican priest from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles whose miraculous healing played a decisive role in Frassati’s canonization process. Their testimonies highlighted the enduring impact of Pier Giorgio’s life, which continues to inspire countless young people with his joy, courage, and profound love for Christ.
