St Carlo Acutis Relic Tour
On Wednesday, 17 June, we have a special opportunity to gather at St Gregory’s Church to hear about the life and witness of St Carlo Acutis — one of the Church’s newest and youngest saints.
The evening will begin at 8.15pm with a talk by Msgr Anthony Figueiredo, worldwide curator of St Carlo’s relic. He will speak about Carlo’s deep love for the Eucharist, his joyful witness to Christ, and how each of us can grow in holiness in the ordinary circumstances of life.
Following the talk, there will be an opportunity to venerate the relic of St Carlo Acutis, before we conclude the evening together with Night Prayer.
All are warmly invited to come along for this special evening of faith, prayer, and inspiration.
