Pope Leo XIV on Friday set Sept. 7 as the rescheduled date to canonize the Catholic Church’s first millennial-era saint, Carlo Acutis.
Acutis was 15 when he died in northern Italy in 2006 after a short bout with leukemia. He has become enormously popular, especially among young Catholics, who have been flocking to his tomb in Assisi.
Acutis’ canonization was originally scheduled for April 27, but was postponed following the death of Pope Francis on April 21.
