This summer Fr. Michael-Joseph of St. Thérèse and Dcn. Br. Pier Giorgio of Christ the King spent some time in Estes Park, Colorado ministering to the college students attending FOCUS Summer Projects. While they were there, they had the opportunity to speak with some of the students about their personal experiences of prayer and the Carmelite saints.
Fr. Pier Giorgio became a Discalced Carmelite friar for the Washington Province in 2014. He was solemnly professed in 2020 and ordained a priest in July 2021. He is the managing editor for the Institute of Carmelite Studies Publications. He completed his master’s in sacred theology in 2019 at the Catholic University of America and is currently pursuing a master's degree in comparative literature and translation at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
