Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager and computer prodigy who earned the nickname "God's influencer," is set to become the Catholic Church's first millennial saint.
During his life, Acutis used his technological skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith, including setting up a website documenting miracles.Born in London 1991, he later moved to Milan, Italy with his family. Although Acutis' parents were not religious, the young boy's faith was nurtured by his Polish nanny. After his death, his body was moved to the Italian town of Assisi, where it is now displayed in a shrine, alongside other relics linked to him.
Acutis was beatified and declared "blessed" after his first miracle in 2020, when he reportedly healed a Brazilian boy who had a birth defect in his pancreas that left him unable to eat food normally. His story is seen as helpful for the Catholic Church as it seeks to connect better with younger generations in a digital age.
