Pope Francis has added an Italian teenager to the list of people he will formally recognise as saints on October 14 during the month-long meeting of the world synod of bishops on young people.
During an ordinary public consistory on July 19, Pope Francis announced that he would declare Blessed Nunzio Sulprizio a saint the same day he will canonise Blesseds Oscar Romero, Paul VI and four others. An ordinary public consistory is a meeting of the pope, cardinals and promoters of sainthood causes that formally ends the sainthood process.
