Saint Carlo Acutis

 

Born in 1991 in London and raised in Milan, Carlo Acutis was a young Italian known for his deep of the Month 14 Catholic Pictorial devotion to the Eucharist and his skill with computers. From an early age, he attended daily Mass and prayed the Rosary, describing the Eucharist as his “highway to heaven.” Combining faith and technology, he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world, helping others grow in devotion to the Real Presence of Christ. Carlo died of leukaemia in 2006, offering his suffering for the Pope and the Church. He was beatified in 2020 and canonised in 2025. His body lies in Assisi, where he continues to inspire young people to use their gifts for God. His feast day is 12 October, which we celebrate for the first time this year.
