SAINT OF THE WEEK

Blessed Carlo Acutis, who was beatified on Saturday, is the first millennial to be declared Blessed. Acutis was only 15-years-old when he died in 2006, offering all his sufferings for the Church and for the Pope. He loved computer programming and playing video games but not as much as he loved the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. >READ MORE
