About Carlo Acutis:
Carlo Acutis, a London-born teenager, is on the path to becoming the first saint of the millennial generation. Born in 1991 and growing up in Milan, Italy, Acutis passed away in 2006 at the age of 15 due to leukaemia. His life, though short, was marked by a profound faith and a passion for technology, which he used to spread the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Carlo had great devotion to the Eucharist and he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles.
Visit the Carlo Acutis website to find out more.
The visit of Blessed Carlo’s relic is truly special opportunity to be close to him and to benefit from learning from his actions in life. We hope you will feel welcome to join us for Holy Mass or to venerate the relic.
There are a number of events open to the public across this period and details can be found on this poster, which you can view or download. Alternatively, please click on the event that is most of interest to you in the ‘Related Events’ section below.
