Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles

26-27 June 2021

On October 10 last year (2020), a 15-year old young man called Carlo Acutis was beatified in . He was born in London in 1991 and died in in 2006 from fulminant leukemia which killed him in a week. He insisted on receiving his (with special permission) at the age of 7, after which he went to Mass and received communion daily for the rest of his life. He was friendly and cheerful, generous and fun.

Blessed Carlo was also a computer genius, and when at the age of 11 he discovered the eucharistic miracle of Lanciano, it set him on a search of all the eucharistic miracles of the world (more than 120!), which he entered and presented on a well-researched website which he designed. He finished this work a few months before his death. This exhibition is now available throughout the world, and St Joseph’s will be presenting a selection of it on the weekend of June 26th and 27th.

Blessed Carlo’s mother gave birth to twins 4 years after his death, in 2010. She and her husband later hired an Englishwoman, Anna Johnstone, to be their governess for a period of 3 years. This lady, now a friend of the Acutis family, who also was invited by them to attend the ceremony, will be in Malvern on the same weekend and speaking after all Masses. There will also be other events during the weekend, which will be announced in due course. We hope that as many people as possible will take advantage of this opportunity to meet her and see the work prepared for us by Blessed Carlo, to help us to renew our devotion to Jesus in the .

Please begin now to pray for the spiritual success of the weekend.
