- This canonization follows the postponement of Acutis' original April 27 ceremony caused by Pope Francis' death on April 21, 2025.
- Acutis, a British-born Milanese teen who died of leukemia in 2006, was renowned for his joyful faith, use of technology to evangelize, and two verified miracles.
- Thousands of faithful, including Blessed Frassati's niece Wanda Gawronska, have expressed anticipation and some disappointment over date changes related to the August canonization schedule.
- The joint canonization is expected to inspire new generations, marking Acutis as the first millennial saint and reaffirming the Church's outreach to youth through modern examples.
