Embracing the Canonisation of Carlo Acutis: Sunday 27 April
April 3, 2025
“To always be close to JESUS, that’s my life plan.”
– Carlo Acutis
Documentary: The Boy From Milan will be released on April 2, and outlines the life of Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint to be canonized, and his story powerfully
witnesses extraordinary holiness in an ordinary life.
He rose early to attend daily Mass before school, proclaiming the Eucharist as his “highway to Heaven.” He inspired his mother to return to the Church. He used technology to catalogue Eucharistic miracles and spread the Gospel with as many people as possible.
The universal church will join together to celebrate Bl. Carlo’s canonization on April 27 (Divine Mercy Sunday), and your parish can be part of that worldwide celebration by showing The Boy From Milan with first hand accounts about Carlo Acutis, the sneaker-wearing, computer-loving “gamer saint” of this generation, who because of his deep love of God, devotion to the Eucharist, and quiet acts of charity is drawing a new generation of young people to be amazed by the miraculous and strive to live with everyday holiness.
