Who Was Saint Carlo Acutis?
Saint Carlo Acutis (1991–2006) was an English-born Italian teenager whose life radiated faith, joy, and technological creativity. Growing up in Milan, Carlo developed a deep love for God and the Eucharist, attending Mass daily and spending time in prayer.
Known for his curiosity, kindness, and humility, Carlo inspired those around him — including his own parents — to draw closer to faith. His passion for computers led him to create websites documenting Eucharistic miracles, helping people encounter God in a modern way.
Diagnosed with leukaemia at age 15, Carlo offered his suffering to God and faced illness with remarkable peace, saying:
“I’m happy to die because I’ve lived my life without wasting even a minute on things that don’t please God.”
Canonised in 2025, Saint Carlo is the first millennial saint, showing that holiness is possible in everyday life. His feast day, 12 October, invites us to celebrate youth, creativity, and encounter with Jesus — especially through the Eucharist.
