CARLOS ACUTIS KIDS’ BIOGRAPHY: A SAINT FOR THE DIGITAL AGE: THE INSPIRING STORY OF HOW A TEENAGER USED HIS GIFTS FOR GOD

"We are all born as originals, but many die as photocopies." —Saint Carlo Acutis . What if a teenager who loved video games, pizza, and soccer became a SAINT? Meet Carlo Acutis—the world's first millennial saint, patron of the internet, and proof that YOU don't have to wait to change the world. From Gamer to Saint Carlo wasn't some boring historical figure from centuries ago. He was born in 1991. He played PlayStation. He coded websites. He had a favorite soccer team. He ate pizza and hung out with friends. Sound like someone you know? Maybe even... YOU? But here's what made Carlo different: He discovered his superpower and used it for something BIGGER. A Mission That Changed Millions At just 12 years old, Carlo taught himself to code and built a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles from around the world. His digital museum reached people in over 50 countries—and it's STILL changing lives today. But Carlo's real superpower wasn't technology. It was KINDNESS . He befriended the lonely kids that everyone ignored. He gave his allowance to homeless people. He stood up to bullies. He made everyone around him feel loved and valued. When Cancer Came Knocking At age 15, Carlo was diagnosed with leukemia. Instead of anger or despair, he offered his suffering to help others. His courage amazed doctors and inspired thousands. Carlo died in 2006. But his story was beginning. ★ From Teenager to Saint ★ In 2025, the Catholic Church officially declared Carlo a SAINT—the first millennial saint in history.
