Carlo Acutis died from leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006.
The "Patron Saint of the Playstation" is being remembered as an immensely curious and intellectual young man, ahead of his canonisation this spring.
Originally born in London in 1991, Carlo Acutis will become the world's first millenial saint on the 27th of April.
He died at the age of 15 in October 2006 of within a week of being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia.
He used his tech skills to create a website documenting eucharistic miracles, while one of his documented miracles include the healing of a child from a birth defect known as an annular pancreas.
Parish Priest in Abbeyleix Father Paddy Byrne says Carlo Acutis will be celebrated both in Ireland and Rome:
