On Sunday, St. Peter’s Square was filled with singing and prayers in many languages accompanying the first canonizations of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate.

It was only their first day on the job as canonized saints, but Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati were already fulfilling their roles of drawing people to Christ.

“Blesseds” Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati — who are both beatified, the first step toward sainthood — will be canonized in the Vatican on Sunday, Sept. 7, the first such ceremony by Pope Leo XIV.

Register contributor Debbie Cowden had some great ideas to ring in the moments including games like "Who Said It" where friends and family try to stump each other on who knows more of the soon-to-be-saints' quotes or even baking a dessert using Nutella since that was Carlo Acutis' favorite treat.

Tens of thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square as Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, the first saints declared by the new pontiff. Carlo, dubbed “God’s influencer,” became the church’s first millennial saint.
