St Carlos Acutis - 1st Class Relic

Last week, our Year 4 and Year 5 students walked to OLSH Church in Randwick for a deeply special excursion focused on St Carlo Acutis.

 

During the visit, students had the unique opportunity to venerate a 1st class relic of St Carlo and write their own personal prayers of intercession. They were privileged to hear an inspiring presentation by Karen Hobbs, an expert on Carlo’s life and legacy, before exploring an exhibition highlighting his journey to sainthood and the Eucharistic miracles he documented. It was a memorable and prayerful day of faith, learning, and reflection for our students.
