I had the privilege to sit down with Nicola Gori, the postulator guiding Blessed Carlo’s cause for sainthood. A few months earlier, I also visited Cardinal Semeraro, Prefect of the Vatican’s office for the Causes of Saints. He spoke with me about both Blessed Pier Giorgio and Blessed Carlo, and shared his own personal connection to the latter.

Using the EWTN Travel App, we follow the footsteps of the soon-to-be saint Carlo Acutis with Courtney Mares, EWTN’s leading expert on the millennial’s life.

EWTN Contributor Chris Stefanik sits down with Antonia Salzano, the mother of Carlo Acutis, in an up-close and personal interview, and we visit the hospital where Carlo died.

We don’t only look back at the life of this saint, but we see the fruit of his life in a special group of young people who continue his work online.

In case you missed it, let EWTN’s Colm Flynn take you across Italy on a life-changing pilgrimage in honor of soon-to-be saint Pier Giorgio Frassati.

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,

Andreas Thonhauser
