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.
In a heartfelt appeal amidst global unrest, Pope Leo XIV has invited the Universal Church to observe a day of prayer and fasting for world peace. Responding to this call, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) urges all faithful in India to unite in solemn observance on Friday, August 22, the Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
