About Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis was a British-Italian teenager who used technology to spread faith and died of leukemia at age 15. Despite affluent secular parents, Carlo developed deep Eucharistic devotion, attended daily Mass, and loved the Rosary. He created a website cataloguing Eucharistic miracles worldwide. Carlo defended bullied classmates, tutored poorer students, and served the homeless. He said: "The Eucharist is my highway to heaven." After dying from acute leukemia in 2006, his witness inspired many young people. He was beatified in 2020, becoming the youngest contemporary blessed. He was canonized by Pope Leo XIV on September 7, 2025.
