On 7 September 2025, Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, two blessed candidates, were both canonized by Pope Leo XIV, who recently began his papacy on 8 May 2025, in the Vatican City on Sunday.
Pope Francis had planned to canonize Carlo Acutis as the first millennial saint on 27 April, and Pier Giorgio Frassati at the end of August. However, Pope Francis passed away on 21 April. Therefore, the canonization was postponed.[1] Following Pope Francis’s death and the papacy of Pope Leo XIV, the canonization drew over 80,000 people that young people gathered in St. Peter’s Square this morning.[1]
Pope Leo XIV decreed that Both Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati will be inscribed in the Register of Saints, along with Blessed Ignazio Choukrallah Maloyan, Peter To Rot, Vincenza Maria Poloni, Maria del Monte Carmelo Rendiles Martinez, José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros, and Bartolo Longo who would be canonized on 19 October.[2]
