Vatican suspends ceremony to create first millennial saint after pope's death

The Vatican has suspended due to Pope Francis' death a planned ceremony for the Catholic Church to proclaim the first saint from the millennial generation, it said in a statement on Monday.

Carlo Acutis, an Italian boy who died from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was originally set to be made a saint at a ceremony in St. Peter's Square on April 27.
