Over the weekend, events celebrating the canonisation of Saint Carlo Acutis took place across the world. Saint Carlo is the first millennial to be made a saint by the Catholic church. He lived an ordinary teenage life before being diagnosed and then passing away from leukemia at the age of 15. St Carlo’s canonisation is especially significant as it shows that even in our modern world, young people can live lives of deep faith and holiness. He reminds us that everyday actions, when centred on love and faith, can lead us closer to God.
