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.

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.

Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901–1925), “the man of the Beatitudes,” lived for faith, charity, and friendship. From Turin to the mountains, his short life still inspires a joyful path to holiness.

Saint Carlo Acutis, born 1991, used technology to share his deep love for the Eucharist. Dying at 15, he inspired countless young Christians to live with faith, devotion, and joy.

Cardinal Semeraro reflects on Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, sharing how their faith, charity, and joy inspire young people and all Catholics to live fully for God and others.

The historic canonization of Blesseds Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati is this coming Sunday!

From Rome, we travel to Milan to walk in the footsteps of Carlo Acutis: his parish church, his school, and with his personal friends.
