This weekend, the faithful in Rome will witness a historic event as Pope Leo XIV is set to canonize two modern saints, Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati. These two saints, including the first canonized millennial, are being recognized for their extraordinary faith and dedication to serving others.
Carlo Acutis, a young Italian computer programmer who passed away at the age of 15 after battling leukemia, will be honored for his devotion to the Catholic faith and his work in cataloguing Eucharistic miracles around the world. Pier Giorgio Frassati, an Italian social activist and avid mountaineer who lived in the early 20th century, will also be canonized for his selfless acts of charity and commitment to helping the less fortunate.
This momentous occasion is expected to draw crowds of pilgrims and believers from all over the world to witness the canonization ceremony in St. Peter's Square. Pope Leo XIV's decision to elevate these two individuals to sainthood highlights the importance of modern role models in the Catholic Church and serves as an inspiration to all those who strive to live a life of faith and service.
