They are Carlo Acutis and Piergiorgio Frassati, two bright lives for the restless heart of the Third Millennium<\/h4>\n\n<p>In the vibrant silence of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica, among the aisles full of songs and expectations, the names of two young men resound as promises kept. On\u00a0<strong>7 September 2025<\/strong>, Pope Leo XIV will consecrate his pontificate with a gesture that tastes of revolution and memory, of the future and roots: the canonisation of:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/carlo-acutis-the-blessed-of-the-digital-age\/\"><strong>\u00a0Carlo Acutis<\/strong><\/a>, saint and beatified\u00a0<strong>Piergiorgio Frassati<\/strong>,\u00a0<em>his \u201cfirst\u201d\u00a0<\/em>saints, two young souls who speak with a prophetic voice to a world in search of light.<\/p>\n<p>Carlo and Pier Giorgio. Two young men. Two centuries. One Holiness, two lifestyles.<br \/>\nOne speaks the language of the cloud, the other that of mountain trails. One evangelises with a keyboard, the other with a sandwich given to a poor person. But they both have the same burning heart, the same fixed gaze on Christ, the same scandalous joy of holiness. Carlo and Pier Giorgio are two saints for the third millennium, two models that do not inspire awe, but that attract. They don&#8217;t make you feel guilty, but they call for something bigger. The lotus message is powerful, revolutionary, as only youth can be:\u00a0<strong>you can be young, in love with life, immersed in modernity&#8230; and at the same time deeply holy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6868 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/carlo-acutis.jpg\" alt=\"Carlo Acutis\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Acutis and Frassati: the first canonisations of Pope Leo XIV\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=6862\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/carlo-acutis-the-blessed-of-the-digital-age\/\">Carlo Acutis: The Blessed of the Digital Age<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nCarlo Acutis, the millennial saint who dedicated his short life to Jesus and helping the poor and needy, reminds &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>On 7 September 2025, when Carlo Acutis and <a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/saints-and-blessed\/from-the-mountain-to-the-sky-the-life-and-message-of-pier-giorgio-frassati\/\"><strong>Pier Giorgio Frassati<\/strong> <\/a>are canonised, the young people of the world will feel a little less alone.<br \/>\nPope Leo XIV, with this gesture, does not canonise only two people: he canonises a vision. A Church that looks forward without forgetting, that recognises beauty in fragility, that is not satisfied with nostalgia, but seeks living faces. Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati will be the polar stars of a pontificate that aims to speak to TikTok and the Alpine peaks, students and people experiencing poverty, volunteers and\u00a0<em>coders<\/em>, mystics and creatives. In a tired and disillusioned time, these canonisations are a caress and a challenge. A caress for those seeking meaning. A challenge for those who are content with the minimum.<br \/>\nOn 7 September 2025, the Church will not only add two names to its calendar; it will also illuminate two powerful and luminous signs for humanity on the way.<br \/>\nCarlo and Pier Giorgio, pray for us.

An ad that doesn&#8217;t come out of nowhere. Back in November 2024, during one of his last general audiences, \u00a0Pope Francis,\u00a0with his weary but still vibrant voice, warmed the hearts of the crowd in St. Peter&#8217;s Square, revealing the future canonisation of the two young men. A long applause had broken out between Bernini&#8217;s columns, like a wave of joy rushing up to the sky. Carlo, the boy of the Net and the Rosary, would be proclaimed a saint on 27 April, on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/easter\/sunday-in-albis-what-is-commemorated-and-what-is-the-religious-significance-of-this-day\/\">Divine Mercy Sunday<\/a><\/strong>, within the Jubilee of Adolescents; Pier Giorgio, the saint with muddy shoes and his heart looking upwards, would receive the halo during the Jubilee of Youth, at the end of July. But time has messed up the dates:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/special-occasions\/how-pope-francis-transformed-the-church-during-his-pontificate\/\"><strong>Bergoglio&#8217;s sudden death<\/strong><\/a>, on 21 April, cancelled everything, leaving the dream pending, and with it thousands of hearts waiting. Then, silence had fallen on Frassati. No communiqu\u00e9, no hint. As if his canonisation had vanished into the void, like certain sunsets that never become night.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6876 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Holyart_Blog_PapaFrancesco_pt.jpg\" alt=\"Pope Francis\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Acutis and Frassati: the first canonisations of Pope Leo XIV\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=6862\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/special-occasions\/how-pope-francis-transformed-the-church-during-his-pontificate\/\">How Pope Francis transformed the Church during his pontificate<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat did Pope Francis do that was important? His pontificate was a revolution of mercy that transformed&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then, like a flash in the still sky,\u00a0<strong>came the announcement of Pope Leo XIV.<\/strong>\u00a0With a choice that feels more like prophecy than a program, he combined the two dates into a single, powerful liturgy on 7 September. Not to simplify, but to seal: two young saints, of different centuries and paths, proclaimed on the same day, as spiritual brothers, as sentinels of the same dawn. A decision that is not just a date in the calendar, but an act of love towards a Church that wants to be young in heart, in voice, in faith. And that finds, in Carlo and Pier Giorgio, two lighthouses lit for those who still seek God within the walls of the school, in the peripheries of the world, or the silence of a sunset in the mountains.<br \/>\nIt is not a neutral or diplomatic choice. A declaration of intent. <a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/pope-leo-xiv-the-new-face-of-the-catholic-church-in-the-third-millennium\/\"><strong>Pope Leo XIV<\/strong><\/a>, elected by surprise in a conclave marked by fears and desires, chose to start from youth, from two smiling and restless faces, from two stories burned in a hurry, but which left traces of fire. With the decision to unify the canonisations foreseen by Pope Francis in a single celebration, Leo XIV wanted to send a strong signal: holiness is not a museum of relics, but a living current that transcends generations, a call that resonates today in university classrooms and among the servers of the network. Now to the questions\u00a0<em>&#8220;When will there be the canonisation of Carlo Acutis?&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>\u201cWhen will Pier Giorgio Frassati be canonised?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0we have only one answer: 7 September 2025, the feast of youth and sanctity incarnate, in the embrace of a single liturgy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6878 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Leone-XIV.jpg\" alt=\"Leone XIV\" width=\"150\" height=\"99\" data-kale-share-title=\"Acutis and Frassati: the first canonisations of Pope Leo XIV\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=6862\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/holyart.com\/blog\/religious-items\/pope-leo-xiv-the-new-face-of-the-catholic-church-in-the-third-millennium\/\">Pope Leo\u202fXIV: everything there is to know about the new Pontiff<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nPope Leo XIV: The New Face of the Catholic Church in the Third Millennium&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Carlo Acutis: The Saint of the Net and the Eucharist<\/h2>\n<p>He was only 15 years old when a fulminant leukaemia ripped his life. But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/special-occasions\/carlo-acutis\"><strong>Carlo Acutis<\/strong>,<\/a> born in London and raised in Milan, had already charted his way to heaven, leaving behind not just pain, but a trail of grace. But what did Carlo Acutis do to become a saint?\u00a0<strong>He loved<\/strong>. With intensity. With simplicity. With creativity.<br \/>\nHe made the Eucharist the centre of his existence,\u00a0<em>\u201cmy highway to heaven,\u201d<\/em> he said, and information technology is his pulpit. He created an exhibition on Eucharistic miracles that has toured the world, touching hearts, even those distant from faith. He did not preach: he narrated, with the codes and images of his time. The miracles of Carlo Acutis are not only those officially recognised (such as the healing of little Matheus in Brazil): they are also those that are silent, daily, invisible. How many teenagers have approached the sacraments thanks to him? How many conversions were born from a video, a photo, or a phrase? But above all, Carlo showed that\u00a0<strong>holiness is possible for anyone<\/strong>: that you can attend school, love video games, have friends, and volunteer&#8230; and in the meantime, walk towards Heaven in giant steps. Today, he rests in Assisi, in the Sanctuary of the Renunciation. And from there, he continues to speak with sweetness and strength to the young people of our time.<br \/>\n<div class=\"sp-styles-warning\" style=\"width: 450px; background-color: #FFF; color: #F00; border: 1px solid #F00; padding: 10px; font-size: 14px;\">\n\t\t\t<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Warning: The stylesheets were not loaded!<\/span> \n\t\t\tYou will need to change the <i>Load stylesheets<\/i> setting from <i>Automatically<\/i> to <i>On homepage<\/i> or <i>On all pages<\/i>. \n\t\t\tYou can set that <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #F00;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-admin\/admin.php?page=sliderpro-settings\">here<\/a>.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"slider-pro-125\" class=\"slider-pro sp-no-js\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 500px;\">\r\n\t<div class=\"sp-slides\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Carlo-Acutis-statue-in-painted-resin-30-cm.jpg\" alt=\"Carlo Acutis statue in painted resin 30 cm\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-thumbnail\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/resin-and-pvc-statues\/carlo-acutis-with-rosary-resin-statue-12-in\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Carlo-Acutis-statue-in-painted-resin-30-cm-2.jpg\" alt=\"Carlo Acutis statue in painted resin 30 cm\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-caption\">Statue Carlo Acutis with Rosary painted resin 30 cm\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/resin-and-pvc-statues\/carlo-acutis-with-rosary-resin-statue-12-in\">Buy on Holyart<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/carlo-acutis-35x40-cm-ape-social-wear-shopper-bag-Copia.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-thumbnail\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/special-occasions\/carlo-acutis\/carlo-acutis-35x40-cm-ape-social-wear-shopper-bag\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/carlo-acutis-35x40-cm-ape-social-wear-shopper-bag-e1756214022881.jpg\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-caption\">Carlo Acutis 35x40 cm APE Social Wear Shopper Bag\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/special-occasions\/carlo-acutis\/carlo-acutis-35x40-cm-ape-social-wear-shopper-bag\">Buy on Holyart<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Carlo-Acutis-fabric-cross-14x10-cm-2.jpg\" alt=\"Carlo Acutis fabric cross 14x10 cm\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-thumbnail\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/various-products\/carlo-acutis-fabric-cross-14x10-cm\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Carlo-Acutis-fabric-cross-14x10-cm-2.jpg\" alt=\"Carlo Acutis fabric cross 14x10 cm\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-caption\">Carlo Acutis fabric cross 14x10 cm\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/liturgical-accessories\/various-products\/carlo-acutis-fabric-cross-14x10-cm\">Buy on Holyart<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-slide\">\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Wooden-rosary-with-Carlo-Acutis-medal.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden rosary with Carlo Acutis medal\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-thumbnail\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/rosary-beads-and-rosary-cases\/wood-rosaries\/wooden-rosary-with-carlo-acutis-medal\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/08\/Wooden-rosary-with-Carlo-Acutis-medal.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden rosary with Carlo Acutis medal\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sp-caption\">Wooden rosary with Carlo Acutis medal\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/rosary-beads-and-rosary-cases\/wood-rosaries\/wooden-rosary-with-carlo-acutis-medal\">Buy on Holyart<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n<h2>Pier Giorgio Frassati: The Saint who came down from the peaks to serve<\/h2>\n<p>One hundred years before Carlo, another young man died too soon.

He came down from the peaks to bring medicine, clothes, and comfort. He entered the slums, the alleys, the hospital wards. Without clamour. Without rhetoric. He was a cheerful young man, full of life, a friend of the last. Enrolled in Catholic Action, a Vincentian Dominican tertiary.\u00a0<strong>He prayed, he walked, he laughed.<\/strong>\u00a0He wrote passionate letters, was moved by an icon, and took strong positions against fascism and injustice.<br \/>\nHe died in 1925, at the age of 24, of fulminant polio contracted during one of his visits to the sick.<br \/>\nIt was John Paul II who beatified him in 1990, calling him\u00a0<em>\u201cthe man of the beatitudes\u201d<\/em>. And finally, he will be proclaimed a saint by a Church that needs everyday prophets, revolutionaries of kindness. When Pier Giorgio Frassati is canonised, it will no longer be a question.
