The canonization of the first millennial saint could happen this summer. Blessed Carlo Acutis is being considered for the momentous title, and ahead of that milestone, St. Joseph Catholic Academy in Astoria students took a saintly field trip to learn more about him.
Among those eagerly anticipating the canonization is Antonia Salzano, the mother of Carlo Acutis. In an intimate interview with Currents News, she shared her memories of raising Carlo, from the snowball fights to the superhero costumes and birthday celebrations. To her, he was just an ordinary child, now on the path to sainthood.
Pilgrims on the Seton Route are making their way through Pennsylvania. They’ll visit churches there for the next few days before moving on to West Virginia and Ohio and then crossing into Indiana, where the National Eucharistic Congress is being held.
The sisters from the “Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love” order in New Hampshire are participating in the 65-day pilgrimage. They’ve been very active on social media, keeping people updated on their whereabouts.
