Presentation on Carlo Acutis

The Archdiocese of St. Boniface is hosting a number of opportunities to learn about the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis from Mrs. Louise Normandeau. Mrs. Normandeau was a family friend to the Acutis family and has been spending time giving presentations about his life across various dioceses. Please note, these presentations are all in French, however, there will be one on September 27th at St. Boniface Cathedral that will be translated into English. All are welcome to attend this free event with the opportunity to venerate Blessed (Saint) Carlo’s relics.

Coming Soon: Ado with (Saint) Carlo

In addition to the presentations offered by Mrs. Normandeau, the Offices of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Archdioceses of St. Boniface and Winnipeg will be hosting a night of adoration with the relics of soon-to-be Saint Carlo (this event will take place after his Canonization) present for veneration. More details are coming SOON!
