The ceremony, which was scheduled for next Sunday (27), has been postponed with no new date confirmed
The canonization ceremony of Carlo Acutis, known as the “patron saint of the internet,” has been postponed following the death of Pope Francis on Monday (21). The celebration, originally scheduled for this Sunday (27) in St. Peter’s Square, does not have a new confirmed date, according to the Vatican.
Carlo Acutis, beatified in 2020 after the confirmation of his first miracle, was to be the first saint of the millennial generation (born between the 1980s and the early 1990s). Acutis’ canonization had been recognized by Pope Francis on July 1, 2024, after the confirmation of a second miracle.
The first miracle involved the healing of a child after touching a piece of clothing with Acutis’ blood on it, on October 12, 2010, in Campo Grande (MS). The second miracle occurred in 2022, when a young woman from Costa Rica miraculously recovered from a serious bicycle accident after her mother prayed at Acutis’ tomb in Assisi, Italy.
