The Catholic Action committee at Bishop Greco, Clemmons, has started a traveling poster exhibit of 20 Eucharistic miracles based on the work done by Blessed Carlo Acutis. Their hope is to loan this exhibit to other Columbiette Auxiliaries and/or Knights Councils in the state for display at their parishes. This exhibit is important for two reasons.
First, according to Matthew Kelly, research shows that only 31% of Catholics in the United States believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Research also shows that those who believe in the true presence of the Eucharist don’t leave their faith because they know that only the Catholic Church can offer this gift to them.
Second, it is important for our young people to learn more about teenager Carlo Acutis, who will be the first millennial to be canonized as a saint in April 2025! In his short life, Carlo used his computer skills and internet savvy to put together an exhibition on Eucharistic miracles that has been displayed at parishes throughout the world. His spiritual director has attested that Carlo was personally convinced that the scientific evidence from Eucharistic miracles would help people realize that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. He is an incredible inspiration and role model for our young people today.
