Pope Francis has announced that Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old web designer and devout Catholic who died in 2006, will be canonized as the Catholic Church's first millennial saint next April.
During his weekly general audience on Wednesday, Francis confirmed the date for Acutis' canonization, which will take place on April 27, 2025, at the Vatican. The announcement coincides with the Jubilee of Adolescents, a three-day event celebrating young Catholics.
