Pope Leo XIV will canonize seven blesseds on Oct. 19, including two Venezuelans: Dr. José Gregorio Hernández Cisneros and María del Carmen Rendiles Martínez.
The Vatican announced Friday that Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, two young Catholics beloved for their vibrant faith and witness to holiness, will be canonized together on Sept. 7.
