Product Description
Carlo Acutis was like other boys his age. In his hometown of Milan,
Italy, he loved video games, playing soccer, and hanging out with his
friends. But unlike most other boys, he also loved going to Mass, and
his deep concern for others was felt by everyone around him—including
the poor, the brokenhearted, and even stray dogs.
A self-taught computer whiz, Carlo used his tech skills to serve the
Church and to share his faith in Christ. He built websites for parishes,
and he created an online exhibition to document Eucharistic miracles
around the world.
At the age of fifteen, Carlo was diagnosed with an aggressive form of
leukemia and died a week later on October 12, 2006. In 2018, a miracle
was attributed to his intercession, and Pope Francis beatified him in
2020. He has become a shining example of faith, hope, and love,
especially to young people.
