A British-born Italian teenager, Carlo Acutis, will become the first millennial saint this Sunday, September 7, with thousands of pilgrims expected to attend the canonisation at St Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
Acutis, who died of leukaemia in 2006 at the age of 15, gained fame for using the internet to document Catholic miracles and promote the faith, earning the nickname “God’s Influencer.” His body, dressed in jeans and Nike trainers, rests in a glass-walled tomb in Assisi, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
