The Sydney Archdiocese will host\u00a0a relic\u00a0of the recently-canonised\u00a0St\u00a0Carlo Acutis with a welcome Mass\u00a0later this month and a tour of Greater Sydney in October.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

St\u00a0Acutis was renowned for\u00a0using the internet and digital technologies to\u00a0evangelise\u00a0the faith,\u00a0creating websites\u00a0to catalogue the Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions around the world before passing away from\u00a0leukaemia\u00a0at the age of 15 in 2006.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relic which will tour Sydney is a section of St Acutis\u2019 pericardium, the membrane which\u00a0surrounds the heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relic will travel with Monsignor\u00a0Anthony Figuerido from the diocese of Assisi,\u00a0with Monsignor\u00a0Figuerido\u00a0concelebrating the welcome Mass for the relic\u00a0at\u00a05.30pm on\u00a025 June\u00a0presided by\u00a0Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP.\u00a0Catechesis and an opportunity to venerate the relic will follow the Mass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relic will then\u00a0embark on a national tour\u00a0of the dioceses\u00a0around Australia, including\u00a0in\u00a0regional areas in NSW, before returning to Sydney in October prior to its departure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Director for the Sydney Centre of\u00a0Evangelisation\u00a0Daniel Ang\u00a0hopes the relic will stand as a \u201cpowerful\u00a0reminder\u201d\u00a0of\u00a0how\u00a0God raises up saints from in every generation, and how\u00a0people can\u00a0deepen their\u00a0faith\u00a0and\u00a0evangelise\u00a0to others\u00a0in their\u00a0every day\u00a0life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCarlo\u2019s witness reminds us that the Eucharist is at the heart of the Christian life, and that even the digital world and the ordinary circumstances of daily life can become places of encounter with Christ,\u201d\u00a0he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0our hope that\u00a0all who come to venerate these relics will be drawn closer to Christ, whom Carlo loved\u00a0above all else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHis life points us to Jesus, reminding us that holiness is not simply a story from the past but a calling for each of us today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sydney Archdiocese will host\u00a0a relic\u00a0of the recently-canonised\u00a0St\u00a0Carlo Acutis with a welcome Mass\u00a0later this month and a tour…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,6007,44,350670,350671],"class_list":["post-724155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-highlights","tag-news","tag-relics","tag-st-carlo-acutis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
