Catholic Church to make boy who died at age of 15 its first millennial saint

Carlo Acutis taught himself to code while still at primary school, before using his skills to create websites for Catholic organisations, as well as one that documented miracles around the world.

A boy who died of leukaemia aged 15 is to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.

Carlo Acutis was a computer prodigy who helped to spread Roman Catholic teaching online before his death in 2006. Pope Francis decreed that a second posthumous miracle has been attributed to Acutis, qualifying the teenager for canonisation.
