HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAINT CARLO ACUTIS!
Saint Carlo Acutis died on October 12, 2006 from leukemia, but he was loved for his strong faith and kindness, especially in the digital world where he used his skills to share God's message. He was supposed to be made a saint by Pope Francis on April 27, 2025. Sadly, days before the ceremony, Pope Francis passed away unexpectedly.
This made many people sad because they wanted Carlo to be officially recognized as a saint by the Pope. Even though the ceremony have not happened, many believe that Carlo’s good example and faith will still inspire others, especially in the digital world, and his sainthood may be recognized in the future.
But September 7, 2025, Blessed Carlo Acutis has been officially canonized by Pope Leo XIV , during the Jubilee of Youth in St. Peter’s Square. He was canonized alongside Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati to represent modern holiness for young people.
