Carlo Acutis, a video-gaming Italian teenager, is set to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint after his cause for canonization was approved by church authorities. Acutis, who died from leukemia at age 15 in 2006, used his computing skills to spread the Catholic faith, earning the nickname “God’s influencer.” His cause for sainthood progressed swiftly, gaining a global following and appealing to the younger generation. Acutis is associated with the healing of two children, and his canonization is expected during the Catholic Church’s jubilee year celebrations in 2025. His story is seen as a beacon of hope, showing that holiness is achievable in modern times.
