We are looking forward to welcoming the First-Class Major Pilgrim Relic of St Carlo Acutis to St Catherine of Siena Parish on Saturday 10th – Sunday 11th October 2026 for a very special weekend of prayer, Mass, talks and veneration.
Throughout the weekend, parishioners, families and visitors will have the opportunity to come and pray before the relic of St Carlo, seek his intercession and learn more about his life and his deep love for Jesus in the Eucharist.
The relic is a 6 × 2 cm section of St Carlo’s pericardium, entrusted to the Diocese of Assisi and travelling to different parts of the world.
