Personal veneration is available in the Chapel during the hour before the 11:30 a.m. Mass, offering quiet time for prayer and reflection.

St. Carlo Acutis’s feast day is on October 12. In honor of his life and witness, the National Shrine will bring his relic from the Apparition Oratory to the Apparition Chapel for veneration that day.

All are welcome to attend and pray with this inspiring young Saint on his Feast Day!

St. Carlo Acutis was a young Italian who had a deep love for the Eucharist and a passion for sharing the faith. Using his skills with technology, he created a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles around the world. His life reminds the faithful that holiness is possible at any age and that modern tools can be used to spread the Gospel.
