Eucharistic Miracles Display during Quarant’ore 4th-7th June
Saint Carlo Acutis designed a now famous website https://www.miracolieucaristici.org/ listing all the known and approved Eucharistic Miracles of the world, and now this is displayed in a travelling exhibition accompanying our own Forty Hours (Quarant’ore) of Eucharistic Exposition. There are volunteer guides to help you, and a First Class Relic of Saint Carlo to venerate in the original Baptistry of the church (now the Venerable Margaret Sinclair Museum).
