Pope Leo XIV Sets September 7 As Canonization Date For

Pope Leo XIV has stated that the first Millennial saint will be canonised in a few weeks.

Following his election in May, the Pope held his first public consistory earlier this month. He officially authorised the canonisation of eight saints, including Carlo Acutis, the first of the Millennial era.

This was originally set on April 27 but was postponed after Pope Francis passed away on April 21.

Acutis was of Italian descent and was born in London. He spent the majority of his life in Milan, where he was committed to serving the underprivileged and the Catholic Church.

As a child, the teen frequently gave to the underprivileged and obtained his first communion at the age of seven.

Acutis was eventually released from the hospital after doctors declared that the brain haemorrhage had completely stopped, and Valverde’s mother had prayed at her casket.

Pope Francis was supposed to declare the late youngster a saint, but his body has been stored for the past 19 years.

As is customary when a pope passes away, a number of essential Catholic Church operations were shut down.
