How Catholics can watch, participate in Acutis, Frassati canonizations
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles is hosting special events and has created a site where LA Catholics and others can watch and engage in the canonizations of Pier Giorgio Frassati — who has a particularly special importance in LA — and Carlo Acutis in Rome by Pope Leo XIV on Sept. 7.
The site, friendswithfrassati.com, offers the faithful opportunities to reflect, pray, serve, and advocate for others, similar to Frassati, whose canonization was made possible thanks in large part to a verified miracle that happened in 2017 to LA priest Father Juan Gutierrez.
On Sept. 7, Leo will preside over the canonization Mass for Frassati and Acutis at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The Mass will air live on EWTN and EWTN’s YouTube page and at EWTN.com at midnight PT/3 a.m., ET with an encore showing at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET.
