The Vatican has delivered a major announcement on the status of a Brit teen’s sainthood following the Pope’s death.
The late Pope Francis I was due to give a Sainthood to Carlo Acutis, a British born Italian man who lived much of his life in Italy, later this month.
Carlo, who was 15 when he died in 2006 of Leukaemia, had spent most of his life in Milan, Italy, but was born in London.
He was going to receive his Sainthood on April 27, having dedicated most of his short life to church, and to the less fortunate.
He received his first communion at the age of seven, and would regularly donate his money to the poor as a child.
When he became old enough, he spent his evenings cooking meals and delivering them to the homeless.
