Carlo Acutis, an Italian Catholic teenager who passed away from leukemia at age 15 in 2006, is set to be canonized on April 27, 2025.
Soon to be recognized as the first millennial saint, his model of holiness and reverence demonstrated his deep and steadfast relationship with Christ, remaining a beacon of light for all he encountered.
Carlo Acutis was a huge fan of video games, computer programming, and animation. Fascinated by the details of Eucharistic miracles, he combined his love of computers with his faith by creating a website listing 136 of these miracles to inspire others.
He remains an inspiring role model for children and adults navigating the digital age. He reminds us that technology, when used in moderation, can be a force for good.
Recently, a new music video inspired by the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis was released.
Sophistipop artist Le Concorde, the brainchild of Los Angeles-based Catholic singer-songwriter Stephen Becker, released the single “Corpus Christi,” accompanied by an intriguing digital pixel art video intricately crafted by Sara Alvarez.
