This Currents News special explores the remarkable story of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the tech-savvy teen soon to become the first millennial saint.
Carlo will be canonized in Rome on September 7, 2025, but his impact is already felt deeply across the Diocese of Brooklyn and throughout the world.
Meet a few of the people who have been inspired by Carlo’s faith and legacy:
- Antonia Salzano Acutis, Carlo’s mother, who shares personal stories of her son’s devotion to the Eucharist and his creation of a website cataloging eucharistic miracles.
- Khloe Chavez, a Queens student who first encountered Carlo when his relic came to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Academy and later received a special message from his mother.
- Margaret Driscoll-Cheah, a New Yorker who credits Carlo with helping her heal from stage IV kidney cancer and who received a relic from a Diocese of Brooklyn priest.
