Pope Leo in Vatican City declared 15 -year -old Carlo Acutes as the first Millennial (Generation Y) saint of the Catholic Church at a ceremony on Sunday. Carlo died of blood cancer in 2006. He was called the messenger of God.
On this occasion, about 70 thousand youths from all over the world attended. Carlo was born in 1991 in Britain and lived in Italy. He created religious websites by learning computer coding.
His story inspired many youths. Pope Leo also declared Carlo as well as a saint of Italy, who died of polio in 1920 as a saint. Fresuti was famous for his charity.
Pope Leo in St. Peters Square said, “We all have a chance to become a saint.” He reiterated Carlo’s words, ‘Heaven is waiting for us, and today it is necessary to give our best.’
The Pope asked the youth to take inspiration from Carlo and Frasati and improve their lives. The ceremony was scheduled to take place in April, but was averted due to the death of Pope Francis. This was the first time Pope Leo performed such a ceremony.
