Blessed Carlo Acutis Relic, Holy Hour & Veneration
Join us for a Holy Hour and Veneration as we pray with the relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, and the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary, when his relic visits Most Precious Blood on Friday, April 25th, at 7 pm in the Parish Life Center.
The Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary will lead us in a Eucharistic Cenacle Hour of Adoration, followed by Veneration of the Relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, to be canonized this month.
We are invited to participate in the novena to Acutis starting on April 18 and ending on April 27, the date of his canonization. The novena consists of an opening prayer, daily meditations, and the recitation of five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys, and five Glory Be, which are meant to thank God for the graces bestowed upon Acutis during the 15 years of his earthly life.

It aims to educate and inspire people about the reality and significance of the Eucharist, as well as to strengthen faith in the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.
The exhibit is the culmination of the work of Blessed Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager who spent years documenting the many Catholic Church-approved Eucharistic miracles from the eighth century to the present day. Blessed Carlo died from acute leukemia at age 15, but his short life was marked by deep love for the Eucharist, which he called “my highway to heaven.”

The Catholic Church teaches that when bread and wine are consecrated at Mass, they are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ. Typically, they retain the appearance of bread and wine. The Eucharistic Miracles of the World Exhibit focuses on extraordinary historical instances when bread and wine have been physically changed into human flesh and blood in a manner that scientists have not been able to explain.
