Last July, Pope Francis announced that Carlo Acutis would be canonised (declared a saint) on 27th April.  Carlo Acutis was born in London in May 1991, to an Italian family. He grew up in Italy and was considered a computer geek by his friends. Throughout his life Carlo had strong faith and a desire to love God.  He was diagnosed with leukemia and died on 12th October 2006.  Described as a role model for the young and first millennial saint, Carlo’s story resonates with a new generation.
