Catholic Church's First Millennial Saint
Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager, and computer prodigy known as "God's influencer," is set to become the Catholic Church's first millennial saint
An image of 15-year-old Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006 of leukemia, was unveiled during his beatification ceremony in the St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City on October 10, 2020. Acutis, who was born in London and raised in Milan, Italy, was known for his deep faith and his computer skills, which he used to create websites and online resources about the Catholic faith.
Acutis died from cancer at the age of 15 in 2006, and his cause for sainthood was opened in 2013. In 2019, Pope Francis attributed two health miracles to Acutis's intercession, paving the way for his beatification.
Acutis's beatification is a significant event for the Catholic Church as it will make him the first millennial saint. His story is inspiring to young people around the world, and his example of faith and service is a reminder that sainthood is possible for all who strive to live lives of holiness.
