A British-born teenager who was a devout Catholic before dying of leukaemia at just 15 has been canonised as the first millennial saint by Pope Leo.
Carlo Acutis, born in London to Italian parents in 1991, created websites documenting “miracles” before his death in 2006. Today he was declared a saint during an open-air Mass in St Peter’s Square, Rome, before thousands of worshippers.
