Carlo Acutis, patron saint of the internet

When I was updating the forum about recent changes in Parisian churches, I mentioned that

Saint-Denys du St-Sacrement.
https://www.saintdenys.net/visiter-l-eglise

had a new chapel devoted to the first millennial generation saint, Carlo Acutis

Carlo's canonization had been scheduled for April 27th of this year but when Pope Francis died on the 21st, it was postponed. On Friday the 13th Pope Leo XIV announced that it has now been rescheduled for September 7th.

His main shrine is in Assisi. Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino has said that more pilgrims come to Assisi to visit Acutis’ tomb than St. Francis’.

Carlos is also popular in Milan, where he attended mass every day, and in Paris, as seen in the church linked above.

On the videos page of the church website at the link above there is a two-minute recording of the unveiling of the Carlo statue.

Thanks for the links Avi. We’ve been following his journey for awhile now and will be in Assisi next May.
