Father Leo celebrates the upcoming canonizations of Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati on September 7, 2025. He explains how both young Italians embody holiness in ways that resonate with today’s world. Carlo Acutis, known as the “gamer saint” and first millennial saint, used his passion for technology and devotion to the Eucharist to evangelize online and inspire youth. Pier Giorgio Frassati, a mountaineer and servant of the poor, lived out a balance of prayer, social justice, and joyful friendship, inspiring others with his motto “Verso l’alto” (“To the heights”). Father Leo also unpacks the miracles that led to their canonizations and reflects on why these saints matter today: they show that faith and modern life can go hand-in-hand, and they challenge Catholics—especially young adults—to live with courage, service, and deep love for the Eucharist.
