Computer savvy teen turns Catholic Saint: Where to watch the canonization of Carlo Acutis

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Carlo Acutis, a deceased 15-year-old Italian teen who used his technological talents to spread the Catholic faith, is set to become the first millennial saint this Sunday. 

Alongside Acutis, Pier Giorgio Frassanti will also be canonized. Frassanti, who died in 1925, was an Italian Catholic activist who dedicated himself to serving the less fortunate. 

The canonization ceremony will take place at 9:45 a.m. Rome time —  that’s 12:45 a.m. in San Diego.

With the ceremony taking place over 6,000 miles away at the Vatican, Acutis’ canonization Mass is seemingly far removed from San Diegans. But, in a recent Facebook post, the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego shared how believers in America’s Finest City can join in on the festivities. 

“The Mass will be livestreamed starting at 9:45 a.m. Rome time (3:45 a.m. EDT) on EWTN’s YouTube channel and the OSV News website,” the Diocese of San Diego explained in the caption of their post. 

For local Catholics, the celebration is an opportunity to witness history in real time.
