St. Elizabeth Parish and the St. Pius X Columbiettes will host the Vatican International Exhibition of The Eucharistic Miracles of the World and Carlo Acutis’ First Class Relic the weekend of Aug. 26-27.
This exhibition, which is currently touring the U.S., features an opportunity for veneration of a first-class relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis.
From a wealthy but not religious family, Acutis was a young Italian man of deep faith, and lived a life of care for others. Like many young adults, he enjoyed soccer and video games, and used his knowledge of technology to create a website dedicated to cataloguing every reported Eucharistic miracle around the world. He died of leukemia in 2006 and was beatified in 2020.
The tour also features the Eucharistic Miracle Panel Display, talks by Dr. Bill Ryckman, Mass, Benediction, and an outdoor procession and illuminated Rosary display.
St. Elizabeth’s is located at 809 S Broom St., Wilmington, and there is parking on premises. The church and Grant Hall are also handicap accessible. A handicap accessible bathroom is located in the vestibule of the church.
