September 14th is a day of great joy in the Vatican: Pope Leo celebrates his 70th birthday—an important milestone honored by millions of faithful around the world.

Pope Leo XIV canonized his first two Saints, St. Carlo Acutis and St. Pier Georgio Frassati. This has been an eagerly anticipated moment this year especially as both of their original canonization dates were postponed.
