Introduction

On April 27, 2025, the Catholic Church will canonize Blessed Carlo Acutis, recognizing him as a saint. This milestone marks a significant moment, especially for the younger generation, as Carlo becomes a symbol of holiness in the modern world.

The Canonization Process

Canonization requires proof of at least two miracles attributed to a blessed’s intercession. Carlo’s first miracle led to his beatification in 2020, and now a second miracle has paved the way for his official recognition as a saint. This event will take place in St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, where Pope Francis will declare Carlo Acutis a saint.

The Impact on the Catholic Community

Carlo’s story has already touched hearts worldwide, and his canonization will further inspire Catholics to live out their faith with joy and authenticity. His love for the Eucharist, devotion to Mary, and ability to connect faith with modern technology make him a powerful example for today’s youth.

How to Participate in the Canonization

Many pilgrims will travel to Rome to witness this historic moment. For those unable to attend, the event will be broadcast live worldwide. Churches and youth groups around the world will hold special Masses, prayer services, and Eucharistic Adoration in honor of this special occasion.

Conclusion

As we celebrate Carlo Acutis’ canonization, we are reminded that sainthood is possible in everyday life. His message, “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven,” continues to echo in the hearts of believers, guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Christ.
