As Saint Carlo Acutis was canonized in Rome, hundreds gathered at Holy Cross Church, Cavelossim, to venerate a relic of the teen saint—his strand of hair encased in a statue. The relic, brought by the Capuchins, is part of a statewide pilgrimage, drawing faithful and inspiring the youth with Acutis’ legacy of holiness in the digital age.
Blessed Carlos Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati — two young Italian figures known for their deep spirituality and modern-day impact — will be canonised as saints by Pope Leo XIV on September 7 at the Vatican. Their lives reflect faith, charity, and innovation in evangelisation, marking a profound moment for the global Catholic Church.
