A video-gaming Italian teenager will become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint after his cause for canonization was approved by church authorities.

Carlo Acutis, who died from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was renowned for using his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith and earned the nickname “God’s influencer.” Being recognized as a saint in the Catholic Church can take decades, but the cause of Acutis has moved swiftly, with the teenager developing a devoted following across the world.

” Acutis, who was born in London, United Kingdom, in 1991 – putting him squarely in the millennial generation cohort – is remembered by friends and family as enjoying playing video games such as Halo, Super Mario and Pokémon. During his short life, he also set up a website documenting reports of miracles taking place in different parts of the world.
