Pope Francis to Canonize First Millennial Saint in April 2025

Carlo Acutis, a tech-savvy teenager, will be recognized as a saint during the Vatican's Jubilee for Adolescents.

Carlo Acutis, who passed away from leukemia at 15, will be canonized as a saint on April 27, 2025.
Known as 'God's influencer,' Acutis used his computer skills to promote the Catholic faith by creating a website cataloging miracles.
Acutis was beatified in 2020 after a miracle was attributed to him, and a second miracle was recognized in May 2024.
His tomb in Assisi has become a popular pilgrimage site, drawing many visitors seeking inspiration from his life.
The canonization ceremony will coincide with the Vatican's Jubilee for Adolescents, highlighting the church's focus on engaging younger generations.
