Overview

  • Pope Leo XIV will preside over the canonizations on September 7 in St. Peter’s Square, elevating Carlo Acutis alongside Pier Giorgio Frassati.
  • Nearly 100,000 pilgrims are expected to attend, according to media reports citing Vatican planning.
  • The Vatican recognized two healings attributed to Acutis’s intercession: a Brazilian boy’s recovery from a rare pancreatic condition and a student’s survival after a cerebral hemorrhage.
  • Acutis became widely known for digital evangelization, including a website cataloging eucharistic miracles that is available in about twenty languages.
  • His embalmed body is displayed in Assisi in casual clothing, and the ceremony follows a postponement from April after the death of Pope Francis.
