The relic is a fragment of the membrane that surrounds the heart and will be accompanied by Fr. Marco, parish priest of Assisi where Blessed Carlo\u2019s incorrupt body lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlo Acutis was born in 1991 and died at the young age of 15 from a rare form of leukemia. He was a typical teenager who loved computer games, animals and sports and was a fan of AC Milan. He also had a deep devotion to the Eucharist and made it the very centre of his life. He wanted to share his love of the Eurcharist with the world and designed a website where he catalogued over 150 Eucharistic miracles. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miracolieucaristici.org\/\">http:\/\/www.miracolieucaristici.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is reported that his last words were \u201cI die happy because I didn\u2019t spend any minute of my life on anything unpleasant to God\u201d. Since his death many miracles have been attributed to his intercession. He was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020 and will be canonised in 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corduff Parish which is under the care of the Pallottine Fathers are delighted by the visit of the relic; Carlo shared his devotion to the Blessed Eucharist with their founder Saint Vincent Pallotti. The Pallottine Fathers are renowned for their devotion to the Eucharist and encourage the lay community to be active participants within their parishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cPlease God, through the intercession of Blessed Carlo and Saint Vincent a great Grace will come to our parish community and to all who join us for the visit.\u201d<\/em> <em><br><\/em><em>Fr John O\u2019Connor S.A.C.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Patrick\u2019s Parish, Corduff is delighted to announce the arrival of a First Class Relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis to the Parish on September 10th 2024.
