God Influencer!
On September 7, Leo will preside over the canonization Mass for Frassati and Acutis at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Carlo Acutis (May 3, 1991 – October 12, 2006) was a British-born Italian student celebrated for his devotion to the Eucharist and his use of digital media to promote Catholic devotion. Born in London and raised in Milan, he created a website documenting Eucharistic Miracles and Marian apparitions. Diagnosed with leukemia, he died at age fifteen. Beatified in 2020, he is regarded as a model for young believers and is scheduled to be canonized as a saint on September 7, 2025. Acutis is often referred to as the "first millennial saint" and God influencer.
Pier Giorgio Frassati will be canonized as a saint on Sunday in St. Peter's Square, Rome, along with Blessed Carlo Acutis. Pope Leo XIV presided over the Mass for their canonization. Frassati, a young layman from the early 20th century, is recognized for his charitable works and unwavering faith, and is seen as a model for Catholic youth.
These are two young millennial saints. Carlo died at 15, and Pier Georgio was 24. Both of them lived everyday lives while opening their hearts to Jesus and used their talents to evangelize and share their faith with others. What great examples for us and our young students! Let us pray to both these new saints to help us become saints and become the people God created us to be.
St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us.
St. Pier Georgio Frassati, pray for us.
