ST. CARLO WEEK

ST. CARLO WEEK

St. Carlo Week // July 14th-18th

Join us for St. Carlo Week at Holy Name of Mary Parish, a special week centered on the presence of a First-Class Relic of St. Carlo Acutis.

We are honored to welcome this sacred relic of the first millennial saint, whose deep love for Jesus in the Eucharist continues to inspire people around the world. Throughout the week, we invite our parish community, families, and friends to come together in prayer, reflection, and celebration as we draw closer to Christ through the witness of St. Carlo.

In a unique way, this week offers an opportunity for prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, veneration of the relic, music, and reflection on the life and spirituality of St. Carlo Acutis. His devotion to the Eucharist, love for the Church, and use of technology to share the Gospel remind us that holiness is possible in every age and in every ordinary life.

Whether you are deeply familiar with St. Carlo or encountering his story for the first time, all are welcome. Come experience a week of encounter, hope, and renewal as we gather around the presence of his relic and the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us.
