The pope will canonize Blessed Acutis on April 27, during the Jubilee for Adolescents in Rome on April 25-27, and Blessed Frassati during the Jubilee of Young People in Rome on July 28-August 3.

Los laicos podrán y se espera que hagan mayores contribuciones en las funciones y la vida de la Iglesia de cara al futuro.
