Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Canonization Week with Carlo Acutis & Pier Giorgio Frassati

In anticipation of the joint canonizations of Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati on September 7, 2025, we invite you to a special week of prayer, reflection, and action. This Canonization Week Calendar offers daily activities drawn from the lives of these two remarkable young saints—one a tech-savvy champion of the Eucharistic, the other a joyful adventurer with a heart for the poor.

Each day includes a quote, a Scripture passage for Lectio Divina, and practical suggestions for personal prayer, family activities, or community engagement. This week is a unique opportunity to live out the example of these two young saints as we prepare for their canonizations!
