Christ the Prince of Peace, Weybridge, is to host a fantastic St Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles exhibition this summer. Pope Leo declared London-born Carlo Acutis the Catholic Church’s first Millennial saint on Sunday 7 September. St Carlo, who died in 2006 at the age of 15, is a saint for our times. He once said, “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven!” and his commitment to the fundamental truths of Catholicism, particularly his deep devotion to the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, is an inspiration to generations of young people.

St Carlo was given his first computer aged nine; and was soon begging his mother for books on how to code, to apply his skills to creating a website on Eucharistic miracles.

From 25 August to 3 September, Christ the Prince of Peace Church in Weybridge will host the International Eucharistic Miracles exhibition originally conceived and designed by St Carlo and presenting over 100 Eucharistic miracles which occurred over the centuries in various countries and are recognised by the Church.

Fr David Murphy, Parish Priest at Christ the Prince of Peace, said:

“It promises to be a very special time, filled with prayer and many inspiring moments. I believe this will be a meaningful opportunity for many to deepen their faith, especially through the witness of St Carlo.

“This exhibition also leads us towards the first anniversary of his canonisation on 7 September. During these days, we hope to place a particular focus on youth, vocations, Eucharistic adoration, and the life of our new parish and diocese.

“It may also be a lovely pastoral initiative to consider a novena across our churches during this time, entrusting these intentions to the Lord through the intercession of Carlo Acutis.”

The new Parish of Weybridge was inaugurated on 7 December and includes 9 church communities in Weybridge, Addlestone, Chertsey, Englefield Green, Esher & Thames Ditton, Molesey & Hersham and Walton-on-Thames. Our diocesan shrine to St Carlo is located at St Peter’s, Hove.
