Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager, has been officially declared a saint by the Catholic Church, making him the first millennial to receive such a prestigious title. Acutis, who passed away at the young age of 15 in 2006, has been recognized for his devotion to the Catholic faith and his ability to use technology to spread the message of God.
His mother, Antonia Salzano, shared with the media about her son's transformation from being a non-religious mother to the mother of a saint. She recounted how Carlo's strong faith and commitment to serving others inspired her to deepen her own spirituality.
Pope Leo XIV expressed his admiration for Acutis' dedication to God and his efforts to help others understand the importance of faith in a modern world. Acutis' use of technology to create a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles also played a significant role in his canonization.
The Catholic Church hopes that Acutis' example will inspire other young people to follow in his footsteps and embrace their faith wholeheartedly. Acutis' legacy as the first millennial saint is sure to have a lasting impact on generations to come.
