‘God’s Influencer’ Carlo Acutis Set To Become 1st Millennial Saint

Nov 21 2024

Carlo Acutis, a London-born teenager known as “God’s influencer,” will be canonised as a saint in April. Acutis, who passed away from leukaemia in 2006 at just 15, will become the first millennial declared a saint by the Catholic Church.

Dubbed the “patron saint of the internet,” Acutis was recognised for his devotion to digital evangelism. He created a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles, a project launched mere days before his death.

This initiative, now translated into multiple languages, continues to inspire Catholics worldwide and highlights his enduring legacy.

Though born in the UK, Acutis spent most of his life in Italy, passing away in Monza. His body was later moved to Assisi, where it is displayed alongside other relics.

He was beatified in 2020 following his first recognised miracle: the healing of a Brazilian child born with a rare congenital condition.

In May, Pope Francis confirmed a second miracle attributed to Acutis—the sudden recovery of a Florence university student from severe brain trauma.

This confirmation paves the way for sainthood, requiring proof of two miracles beyond natural explanation. The canonisation is set for the weekend of April 26, as announced by Pope Francis at the Vatican.
