Carlo Acutis lives with a continual awareness of God’s presence, centring his spirituality on the Eucharist—his “highway to heaven”—and devotion to the Virgin Mary. He uses his exceptional computer skills for evangelization, creating digital projects, websites, and other resources to share his love for the Church and serve his parish.

Born in London in 1991 to Italian parents, Carlo moves to Milan shortly after his birth and receives his First Communion at an early age. He teaches catechism and is remembered for his joyful kindness, charity toward the poor, and willingness to use his technical abilities for others. Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Anthony of Padua inspire his faith and service, while his personal savings support people in need.
