Visit of relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis

Blessed Carlo was born in London to Italian parents, but grew up in Milan where his family relocated when he was just a child. From a young age, he displayed an extraordinary devotion to his Catholic faith and attended Mass daily, regularly received the sacraments as well as developing a deep love for the Eucharist.
On October 10, 2020, he was beatified by Pope Francis, becoming the first millennial to be declared ‘Blessed’ by the Catholic Church.
The Church said that his beatification highlighted “the significance of his witness, particularly for the younger generation, demonstrating that holiness is attainable even in our modern world”.
Blessed Carlo Acutis would be celebrating his 33rd birthday this year on May 3rd, had he not died of leukaemia in 2006, at the age of 15.  Acutis was known for centring his life around the Eucharist and attending Mass and Adoration daily.
