YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Catholic Church has canonized Carlo Acutis, the first saint of the millennial generation, in a ceremony at the Vatican presided over by Pope Leo XIV on Sunday.

Nicknamed “God’s influencer,” Acutis died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15. Before his death, Acutis created a website promoting catholic miracles. The late Pope Francis had supported the matter, intending to attract more young people to the faith.
