Meet Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati: Church’s Newest Saints

Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati have been canonized by Pope Leo XIV, giving the Church two new saints who inspire today’s faithful with lives of holiness, charity, and love for Christ.

We are happy you joined us for the historic canonization of Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati! Following upon the joy of the canonization, we explore the inspiring witness of the two young saints.

Frassati, born in Turin in 1901, lived only 24 years, yet his short life shone with charity, friendship, and a deep love for the Eucharist.

Nearly a century later, Carlo Acutis carried the same torch of faith into the digital age. Born in 1991, he used his passion for computers to spread devotion to the Eucharist, creating a website and international exhibition on Eucharistic miracles as a teenager.

Finally, I sit down with the Vatican Cardinal responsible for the Causes of the Saints to discuss these two youthful examples of holiness.

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