Born in 1991, Carlo Acutis was raised in Italy by parents who never imagined their firstborn son would one day be declared a saint. In his short life of just 15 years, Carlo demonstrated remarkable maturity in virtue and faith, particularly through his devotion to the Eucharist, all while living the ordinary life of a boy who loved sports and his pets. Like many children his age, Carlo developed an interest in the internet but viewed it as a tool for evangelization and often warned about its potential dangers. Using his technological talents, he created an exhibit of Eucharistic miracles that remains available today.
