Blessed Carlo Acutis is the first Millennial to become a saint. He died at just 15 years old and was known for his love of sports and video games, as well as a deep devotion to Jesus and inspiring faith.
He is the perfect model of faith for young people now, and he would be just 33 years old were he still alive today!
As such, the 6 p.m. April 27 Mass at the basilica will be a Teen Mass, where we hope our young people will be involved in every part of the liturgy. There will be praise and worship-styled music to encourage our teens to celebrate the life of a saint who was not so different from them. All 6th-12th graders are welcome to participate in this liturgy in various ways — though spots will fill up.
