The canonization of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint, has been postponed due to Pope Francis’ funeral being held on Saturday.

The relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis visited The Basilica in St. John’s in October of last year. Now, according to the Vatican press office, the College of Cardinals has decided to suspend the scheduled beatification celebrations, until the decision of the new roman pontiff. 

Acutis was scheduled to be canonized Sunday. The Vatican did not immediately announce a new date for his canonization. Acutis, a video-gaming Italian boy who died from leukemia in 2016 at the age of 15, was renowned for using his computing skills to spread awareness of the catholic faith, earning him the nickname “god’s influencer.”   

During his short life, Acutis set up a website documenting reports of miracles taking place across the world. Since his death the church has attributed two miracles to him.
