A local exhibit is set to open in central Massachusetts to honor Italian teen Carlo Acutis set to be declared a saint. Pope Francis paved the way for the canonization of the first saint of the millennial generation last Thursday, attributing a second miracle to a 15-year-old Italian computer whiz who died of leukemia in 2006.
Carlo Acutis was born in 1991. His parents were not religious but his faith was supported by his Polish nanny. He started attending mass at the age of 7 and eventually encouraged his mother to rejoin the church. In addition to playing video games such as Halo, Super Mario, and Pokémon, Carlo taught himself programming to create a website that cataloged miracles, the Times reported.
