Upon his canonization, Acutis will be the first canonized Catholic saint to have been born between the years 1981 and 1996 – leading some to nickname him "God's Influencer." He will be the first millennial to be canonized by the Catholic Church. The second approved miracle means the person can be canonized and given the title "saint."
