Carlo Acutis, a teen web designer and online chronicler of eucharistic miracles, died in 2006 at the age of 15. His canonization by Pope Leo XIV on September 7 of this year will see him become what many call “the first millennial saint.” Prof. Elizabeth Hebbard gave a talk at the Center for Religion and the Human, “Medieval Canonization and the First Millennial Saint” providing an overview and discussion of this Canonization rite as it blends old and new, sanctifying this work of the digital age as part of a much older story.
