Year 2 Celebration of the Word Canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acuti

On Sunday 7 September, Blessed Carlo Acutis was canonised and become the Catholic Church's first millennium saint.

Year 2 celebrated this in class by having time to reflect on his life during a Celebration of the Word. They thanked God for Carlo and added their own prayer intensions.

The children listened and learned about the short but wonderful life of Carlo Acuti.

They learnt that Carlo was a very kind boy who helped many people. He loved video games, animals, and technology but was also a devout Catholic. His favourite time was with Jesus. He said, ‘I love to talk with Jesus about everything I am doing and feeling.’ Most of all, Carlo loved meeting Jesus in Holy Communion and said, ‘It is the highway to heaven.’ He used his computer skills to share his faith and promote devotion to the Eucharist. He taught himself to code and created a website to document Eucharistic miracles, hoping to inspire others to connect with God. Carlo died at the young age of  15 years having lived a life centred on Jesus. 

We thank God for all the goodness Carlo Acuti brought into the lives of others.
