Prayer for the Canonisation of Blessed Carlo Acutis

Oh God, Our Father,thank you for giving us Carlo, a life example for the youngand a message of love for everyone.

You made him become enamoured with Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist his “Highway to Heaven”.You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother, and, with the Rosary, you made him a poet of her tenderness. Receive his prayer for us.Above all, gaze upon the poor, whom he loved and helped.Grant for me too, by his intercession, the grace that I need ...And make our joy fulfilled,placing Carlo among the Saints of your Church, so that his smile may shine again for us in the glory of your name.​Amen

Carlo Acutis was a Catholic Italian boy who loved computers, video games, and soccer, and used his skills to create a website showing Eucharistic miracles. He was known for his strong faith, his love for Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and his acts of kindness towards the poor and bullied. Carlo died from leukemia at age 15 in 2006 and will become the first millennial saint on September 7, 2025.

Parish Mass and Class Visits

Over the last few weeks, Fr Abmar and Fr Antony have been busy visiting classrooms. They have spent time with students and answering a lot of interesting questions. It is really special to have both priests visit and be present in our school. Some of our Primary classes have also enjoyed attending Parish Masses.
