| The Marquette Frassati Society was founded in 2009 by the four Catholic churches in the Marquette, Michigan area. This group reaches out to young adults and families to offer both spiritual enrichment and charitable opportunities to its members along with time for fellowship. It is is dedicated to the memory of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, who lived from 1901 until 1925. He is remembered for his charitable acts to the poor in Turin, Italy and his enthusiasm for the great outdoors.
