Verso L’Alto is a place where teens can have fun, build authentic friendships, grow in their faith, and encounter Jesus. We believe that being Catholic isn’t meant to be boring—it’s an invitation to live life fully! Through games, adventures, retreats, service, prayer, meaningful conversations, and plenty of time just being together, we want every young person to know that they belong and that God has an incredible purpose for their life.

Our patron, St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, embodies the kind of life we want to encourage our youth to live. Pier Giorgio was fun, adventurous, athletic, and loved hiking in the mountains with his friends. At the same time, he had a deep love for Jesus, a devotion to prayer and the Eucharist, and quietly dedicated himself to serving the poor and those in need.

Known as the “Man of the Beatitudes,” Pier Giorgio showed that holiness isn’t about living a dull or ordinary life—it means becoming fully alive in Christ. His life reminds us that faith, friendship, adventure, service, and joy belong together.

Like Pier Giorgio, we want to keep striving upward toward Christ and invite others along for the adventure.
