A video game and computer-loving teenager known as "God's influencer" who died at age 15 will become the first Millennial saint.
On Monday, July 1, the College of Cardinals met with Pope Francis in the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace for an Ordinary Public Consistory, where they voted to approve the canonization of Carlo Acutis, per the Vatican News.
A date when Acutis will be recognized as a saint is yet to be announced, but the outlet stated it's likely to happen during the 2025 Jubilee; an event that's celebrated by the Catholic Church every 25 years.
Acutis — who was a web designer and documented Eucharistic miracles — was born in London, England on May 3, 1991, and died from leukemia on Oct. 12, 2006 in Monza, Italy. He will become the first person born between 1981 and 1996 to be recognized as a saint.
The late teenager's body currently lies on display in an open tomb in Assisi, Italy, where he is dressed in blue jeans and black Nike sneakers, which was reportedly one of his favorite things to wear.
