Icon of person Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis (3 May 1991 – 12 October 2006) was a British-born Italian website designer who documented Eucharistic miracles and approved Marian apparitions, and catalogued both on a website he designed before his death from leukaemia. Acutis was noted for his cheerfulness, computer skills, and devotion to the Eucharist, which became a core theme of his life. He was beatified by Pope Francis on 10 October 2020.

Carlo Acutis was an Italian Catholic teenager who is on the path to being declared a saint by the Catholic Church. He is best known for his devotion to the Eucharist, his computer programming skills which he used to create websites cataloging Eucharistic miracles, and for offering his sufferings from leukemia for the Pope and the Church before his death in 2006 at the age of 15. Carlo Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020, which is one step away from being declared a saint.
