A London-born Italian teenager who spent his short life spreading his faith online, earning the moniker “God’s Influencer,” will become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.
VATICAN CITY –
Carlo’s mother Antonia Salzano described the decision as a “great joy,” telling Vatican Radio that “many had prayed for this canonization.” “Carlo used the web as a tool for evangelization,” Salzano told Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper in an interview published on Friday. He was beatified – or made “Blessed” – in the Italian town of Assisi, the home of the pope’s namesake Saint Francis, where Carlo made several pilgrimages.
His tomb has become a place of pilgrimage for many Catholics, and the site of the second miracle attributed by the Vatican.
