*Two Young Saints for a New Generation: Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati to Be Canonized September 7, 2025* The Vatican has announced the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati on September 7, 2025. Acutis, a millennial known for his devotion to the Eucharist and digital evangelization, will be the first saint of his generation. His journey to sainthood includes a recognized miracle where a young woman recovered from a severe brain injury after prayers at his tomb. Frassati, remembered for his deep faith and charitable works, inspired many with his motto "To the heights," emphasizing spiritual and social elevation. The announcement came during Pope Leo XIV's first consistory, where he also approved canonization dates for seven other blesseds, including Bartolo Longo and José Gregorio Hernández. Originally scheduled for earlier dates, both saints' canonizations were delayed due to Pope Francis’ passing. Their shared ceremony highlights their impact on young Catholics, demonstrating holiness through modern and traditional forms of evangelization.
