The St. Carlo Acutis Veneration Chapel, located at St. Anne Church in Gorham, was blessed by Bishop James Ruggieri on October 12, St. Carlo’s Feast Day. St. Carlo, the Church’s first millennial saint, was known as God’s influencer. He died when he was just 15 years old, but during his life, developed a deep faith that included attending Mass daily, spending time in eucharistic adoration, and using his technology skills to catalog and create an exhibit of eucharistic miracles. “Carlo’s life reminds us that holiness is not outdated. It is not a relic of the past but the adventure of the present moment,” Bishop Ruggieri said during the Mass. Father Louis Phillips, pastor of the parish, said he hopes the chapel will become a place of pilgrimage and for youth gatherings. Read more: https://portlanddiocese.org/news/acutis-chapel-blessing
