YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An Italian teenager who liked playing video games and making funny films of his pets became the Catholic Church’s first “millennial” saint on Sunday.

Carlo Acutis, who was just 15 when he died from leukaemia in 2006, used his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith, setting up a website documenting reports of miracles.

Nicknamed “God’s influencer,” he is seen as a pioneer of the church’s evangelizing efforts in the digital world.
