Pope Leo to make Carlo Acutis first millennial saint on September 7
- Pope Leo XIV announced on June 13 that Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati will be canonized together on September 7, 2025, at the Vatican.
- The canonization was postponed from April 27 following Pope Francis' death on April 21, resolving earlier uncertainties about timing.
- Carlo Acutis, originally from Britain and known for his talent with computers, passed away from acute myeloid leukemia at age 15 in 2006; he was recognized for using digital media to share his deep and cheerful devotion to Catholicism and his kindness toward others.
- The Vatican verified two miracles attributed to Acutis—a Brazilian child's pancreatic disease healing in 2013 and a Costa Rican student's recovery from head trauma in 2024—which supported his sainthood cause.
- Their upcoming canonization highlights a generational and historical bridge within the Church and follows the approval of seven other blesseds to be canonized on October 19, 2025.
