Acutis died of leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006. Born in London, he was a wealthy Italian parent, and he grew up in Milan, where he managed the website for his parish and later the Vatican Academy. He also used his computer skills to create an online database of the Global Eucharist.
His Sutong journey began more than a decade ago, officially taking off shortly after Francis began his pope in 2013, on the initiative of a group of pastors and friends.
The church realized his benign life, and his body was called “noble” in 2018, and his body – wearing sneakers, jeans and sweatshirts – was taken to the shrine of Santuario della della spogliazione in Assisi, Italy. This is a major website related to St. Francis Life.

The teenager was declared “blessed” or regarded as – the first step towards the saint – after a miracle attributed to him, 2020. In that miracle, Acutis recovered from a Brazilian child with a congenital disease that affected the pancreas.
The second miracle is Acutis attributable to May 2024. It involved a cure in Florence, a college student who bleeded after suffering a head trauma in a bicycle accident.
Francis and the Cardinal who lives in Rome formally approved his obligations in July 2024.
In the months leading up to the expected approval, believers kept flocking to Assisi.
