Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila named the school him- self, saying that Blessed Frassati is an excellent role mod- el for young people. "Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati serves as a great example for young people today, especially here on the Front Range," he said.

By teaching in the classical method of edu- cation, Frassati equips students with the means necessary not only to defend their faith in an increasingly secular world, but also live it as authentic disciples of Jesus Christ.
