From Web Influencer to Saint
A web influencer and avid gamer, Carlo Acutis, is set to become the first millennial to be officially canonized by the Catholic Church. Born in London to Italian parents, Acutis moved to Italy at a young age and dedicated his life to religious activities.
The 'God's Influencer'
Known for his love of gaming culture, Acutis was skilled with computers and even built websites promoting the Catholic faith. His most famous site catalogued Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions, leaving a lasting impact even after his passing.
A Gamer with a Heart of Gold
Despite his passion for gaming, Acutis used his hobby for good, donating video games to children in need. His favorite games included Halo, Pokémon, and Super Mario, with a VR game based on his life developed posthumously.
Two Miracles Lead to Sainthood
After Pope Francis recognized two miracles attributed to Acutis, he is set to be officially declared a saint. The miracles involved healing a sick child and a daughter who miraculously recovered after a prayer at Acutis' tomb.
The Road to Canonization
The Vatican announced the decree of Acutis' canonization, with the official ceremony likely to take place during the Catholic Church's jubilee celebrations in 2025. Followers from around the world visit his tomb in Assisi to pay their respects.
