Pope Leo XIV speaks ahead of a Holy Mass and canonization ceremony for Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati in St Peter's Square at the Vatican on September 7, 2025. An Italian teenager, dubbed ''God's Influencer'' for his efforts to spread the Catholic faith online, becomes the first millennial saint on Sunday at a canonization attended by thousands of pilgrims. Computer whiz Carlo Acutis, who dies of leukemia in 2006 at age 15, is raised to sainthood by Pope Leo XIV in a solemn ceremony in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.
