Relics of Carlo Acutis, soon-to-be saint, to visit Philippines in November
A relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, who is set to be canonized as the first millennial saint by Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, September 7, will be brought to the Philippines from November 28 to December 15.
The relic, a portion of Acutis' pericardium (the membrane surrounding his heart), will be handled by the Friends of Blessed Carlo Acutis-Philippines, an organization formed in 2020 to promote devotion to the young saint.
This historic visit is seen as a moment of spiritual renewal and celebration for Filipino Catholics, particularly the youth and families, encouraging them to connect with the young saint's message that the Eucharist is the 'highway to Heaven.'
The pilgrimage will be overseen by Bishop Dennis Villarojo of Malolos, in coordination with a commission responsible for relic pilgrimages.
Acutis, who died of leukemia at age 15 in 2006, was beatified in 2020.
