Carlo Acutis.

barb8171 Carlo Acutis inspired an exhibition of eucharistic miracles from around the world There is an unusual exhibition being held at St Joseph’s church in Thame, Oxfordshire, at the moment. Organised by Anna Johnstone, a local parishioner, it is a display of 60 panels of the Eucharistic miracles of the world (altogether there are 160), accompanied by daily Adoration. The exhibition was originally the inspiration of a young Italian boy, Carlo Acutis who died in 2006 aged 15 and whose cause for beatification has been opened by the diocese of Milan.
Born in 1991, Carlo was a normal boy, lively, sporty and with a special talent for computers. Yet, not unlike Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati of Turin, he also developed a deep love for his faith, receiving Holy Communion daily following his First Communion, going to confession weekly and praying the Rosary. The project of designing an exhibition of Eucharistic miracles took him nearly three years. Thame is one of the first parishes in the UK to organise a display; it can be requested free of charge at www.carloacutis.com
