Carlo Acutis: The Teenager Who Inspires

A Life of Faith and Reason

Carlo Acutis was born on May 3, 1991, in London, England. He died on October 12, 2006, in Monza, Italy, at the age of 15. He was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia just a week before his death.

Despite his short life, Carlo left a lasting legacy. He was known for his deep faith and love of the internet. He used his computer skills to create websites and videos to share his faith with others.

A Model for Millennials

Carlo's life is a model for millennials, who are often seen as the most disconnected generation. He showed that it is possible to use the internet for good and to make a positive impact on the world.

In 2019, Carlo was proclaimed a Servant of God by the Catholic Church. This is the first step in the process of sainthood. If he is eventually canonized, he will become the first millennial saint.
