Icon of person Carlo Acutis

Carlo Acutis (3 May 1991 – 11 October 2006) was an English-born Italian Catholic teenager known for his devotion to the Eucharist and his use of digital media to promote Catholic devotion. Born in London, England, and raised in Milan, he developed an early interest in computers and video games, teaching himself programming and web design and assisting his parish and school with digital projects. Active in parish life, he served as a catechist and helped inspire several people to convert to Catholicism. He later created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions.

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Carlo Acutis is the 2,009th most popular religious figure (up from 2,575th in 2019), the 2,382nd most popular biography from United Kingdom (up from 3,399th in 2019) and the 60th most popular British Religious Figure.

Carlo Acutis was an Italian Catholic teenager who is on the path to being declared a saint by the Catholic Church. He is best known for his devotion to the Eucharist, his computer programming skills which he used to create websites cataloging Eucharistic miracles, and for offering his sufferings from leukemia for the Pope and the Church before his death in 2006 at the age of 15. Carlo Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020, which is one step away from being declared a saint.
