What We Discovered on Monte Mucrone

MONTE MUCRONE, Italy — High above the Italian town of Biella, Monte Mucrone rises 7,661 feet into the sky, its rugged trails and sweeping views once familiar to St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, the “Man of the Eight Beatitudes,” as St. John Paul II famously named him.

From its heights, the clouds below resemble a calm sea, and beyond them the sun sinks, casting its last golden light across the illusory horizon.

Why The Two New Saints of the Catholic Church Matter to My Family – And Yours

As someone who wasn’t always Catholic, I’ve come to understand something profound about the Church that I couldn’t quite put into words during my conversion journey. The Catholic Church isn’t some dusty institution clinging to the past. She is alive, vibrant, and constantly showing us that holiness is possible right here, right now, in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.

This is why the Church’s declaration of saints has always mattered, and it’s why my heart is filled with excitement about today and Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati becoming the newest saints of the Catholic Church.

Get to know Saint Carlo Acutis

Pope Leo XIV canonized Saint Carlo Acutis on Sunday, September 7, 2025. A gamer and computer programmer who loved the Eucharist, he is the Church’s first millennial saint.

On September 7, 2025, Pope Leo XIV canonized both Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati in St. Peter's Square with an estimated 80,000 pilgrims present, including the niece of Pier Giorgio Frassati and the parents and twin siblings of Carlo Acutis. .
