Today, Pope Leo XIV canonized St. Carlo Acutis and St. Pier Giorgio Frassati at St. Peter’s Basilica.
Their devotion to the Eucharist, their service to those in need, and their joyful witness continue to inspire people of all ages.
These new saints continue to inspire young people and the whole Church. We give thanks to God for these new saints, shining examples of holiness for our time.
May their example guide us closer to Christ.

Almost 5 years ago, Pope Francis prayed for the world’s healing—today, the world prays for him. For the third consecutive night, hundreds gathered in St. Peter’s Square to pray the Rosary for Pope Francis, led by Cardinal Re. 
🙏Keep the Holy Father in your prayers.
