Winter Storm Near Miss: Southern Ontario Could Still See Heavy Snow

  A major winter storm developing across the central United States is expected to track close enough to southern Ontario this weekend to bring the risk of significant snowfall. While the core of the system is projected to remain south of the border, its northern edge may still sweep across regions from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area. Forecasters say the exact path remains uncertain, but current projections suggest that areas along and south of Highway 401 could see notable accumulations if the storm shifts even slightly north.

From Coding to Canonization: Carlo Acutis, the First Millennial Saint

Carlo Acutis, a British-born Italian teenager, is set to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint. Known for his deep faith and remarkable tech skills, Acutis used his passion for computers to spread religious teachings, creating a website documenting Eucharistic miracles worldwide. His devotion to faith and service made him a beacon of inspiration for young Catholics.

Born in London in 1991 and raised in Milan, Acutis was drawn to Catholicism from an early age. He attended daily Mass, prayed the rosary, and dedicated himself to helping the less fortunate. Tragically, he passed away from leukemia at just 15 years old in 2006. His legacy, however, continued to grow, with reports of miraculous healings attributed to his intercession.

The Vatican recognized two miracles linked to Acutis, paving the way for his canonization. His official sainthood will be declared in a ceremony at St. Peter’s Square on April 27, 2025, marking a historic moment for the Church. His story resonates deeply with modern believers, proving that faith and technology can coexist in meaningful ways.
