A teenager known as “God’s influencer” will officially become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint. Carlo Acutis — who died from leukemia at 15 years old in 2006 — was known for using his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith. He also set up a website that documented miracles.
To become a saint, a person must have two miracles attributed to them. His first miracle was in 2020, when a Brazilian boy with a pancreatic birth defect healed after his mother prayed to Acutis.
The second was in 2022, when a mother said she prayed at Acutis’ tomb and her daughter recovered from a severe brain injury doctors didn’t think she’d survive.
A date has not yet been set for the canonization ceremony, but the Vatican said it will likely be during the 2025 jubilee celebrations.
