The canonization of the first saint of the millennial generation, Carlo Acutis, has been suspended due to Pope Francis’ death, the Vatican said in a statement on April 21.

Acutis, an Italian boy who died from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was originally set to be made a saint in a ceremony in St. Peter’s Square on April 27.
