Amid Myanmar’s protracted civil conflict, the local Catholic Church has offered a powerful sign of hope for young people by erecting a statue of St. Carlo Acutis at the Cathedral of St. Columbanus in the Diocese of Myitkyina, capital of Kachin State.
The International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS Pax Romana) welcomed the canonization of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, one of its founding members, and St. Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint, calling it “a family celebration.”
