Canonisation of Carlo Acutis

On Sunday 7 September 2025 Blessed Carlo Acutis was the first Millennial Saint to be canonised. He was canonised alongside Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.

Carlo was just 15 when he died. But in his short life he was renowned for his charity work and his constant pursuit of holiness. The Word of God and the Holy Eucharist were the centre of his life.

His legacy lives on, and he is a worldwide source of inspiration to many, especially young people.
