Pope Leo to make Carlo Acutis first millennial saint on September 7
VATICAN CITY, June 13 (Reuters) - The canonisation of the first Catholic saint of the millennial generation, Carlo Acutis, will take place on September 7, Pope Leo announced on Friday.
Acutis, a British-born Italian boy who died from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was originally set to be made a saint on April 27, but the event was suspended after the death of Pope Francis.
Leo announced the new date during a meeting with cardinals to discuss sainthood causes on Friday.

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz snap a smiling selfie during museum visit after reuniting for their fourth movie
Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz enjoyed time together at a museum this week while filming on set in Spain. The two actors, who frequently collaborated together on major blockbuster movies in the past, visited the Museo Reina Sofía while filming their fourth movie together in Madrid. On Friday, the museum and Depp shared a joint Instagram post with photos of the acting duo enjoying the artwork. The stylish pair posed for a smiling selfie together and also wrapped their arms around each other's shoulders as they stood in front of a black-and-white mural. The caption read: 'Thanks for joining us @johnnydepp and @penelopecruzoficial, until next time!' Depp and Cruz's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise costar Orlando Bloom left a comment to show his support as he left two red heart emojis on the post — just shortly after he teased the possibility of 'getting the band together' for a new movie. Depp, 62, and Cruz, 51, are currently filming Day Drinker, their upcoming action thriller. The forthcoming film marks their fourth collaboration after they worked together on Blow in 2001, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2011 and Murder on the Orient Express in 2017. Depp and Cruz's forthcoming movie Day Drinker is directed by Marc Webb and written by Zach Dean. The upcoming film follows an enigmatic stranger forms an unlikely bond with a grieving bartender who lost her lover, their lives intertwining in unexpected ways. Depp plays the 'mysterious' guest on board a private yacht who crosses paths with the bartender, who is played by Madelyn Cline. The synopsis reads as follows: 'They soon find themselves entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in ways no one saw coming.' The cast also includes Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, Anika Boyle and many more. The film marks Depp's return to Hollywood as it's his first role in film from a major distributor since he starred in 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Ever since the end of his highly publicized, 2022 defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard, who currently lives in Madrid, he has made a slow return to the film industry. He starred in the French film Jeanne du Barry that opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and directed the movie Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. At the movie's premiere last September at the San Sebastian FIlm Festival, Cruz reunited with Depp. She previously defended him and even submitted declarations in court on behalf of Depp during his trial. 'Many years have passed and I have not only made three movies with him, but I also count on him as a great friend,' she wrote about her longtime collaborator.

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, reunites with bachelor party pals while girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, is away
Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted out with his longtime industry friends on Thursday night as they gathered for dinner in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old Oscar-winning actor was joined by old pals Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas, Ethan Suplee and Vincent Laresca — whose longstanding friendship earned them the notorious collective nickname 'pussy posse' in the late 90s. DiCaprio wore a black baseball cap, black T-shirt, and brown suede jacket. As is typical when he steps out these days, the star wore a gray mask over the lower half of his face. It comes as his 27-year-old girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti enjoys time in Italy. She joined actor Theo James at a Dolce & Gabbana event in Capri on Thursday. The duo posed for photos aboard a boat for the Italian brand's Light Blue perfume launch. In March Vittoria made rare comments about her age-gap romance with Leo in an interview with Vogue France. She revealed for the first time that the couple met 'in Milan. But I prefer not to go into details.' And the beauty added that she's a fan of DiCaprio's iconic 1997 film Titanic, which was released the year before she was born. 'Who hasn't seen it? Or didn't like it? It's an iconic film...' she noted. Ceretti also said the couple's love for another is strong enough to transcend jealousy between them as she explained, 'It's something you learn: if what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.' She also revealed she has forged a close bond with DiCaprio's family, particularly his mother Irmelin Indenbirken. Last November there was widespread speculation about whether DiCaprio had popped the question to Ceretti, who was previously married to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri. They first sparked dating rumors in summer 2023 when they were spotted on an ice cream date in Los Angeles. They were later spotted out dancing at a club in Ibiza. The couple reportedly met at the Killers of The Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
