Relics of Carlo Acutis, soon-to-be saint, to visit Philippines in November
A pilgrim relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, who is set to be canonized as the Catholic Church's first millennial saint, will be brought to the Philippines from November 28 to December 15.
The relic is a portion of Acutis' pericardium, the membrane that protects his heart.
This historic visit is anticipated as a moment of renewal and celebration for the Filipino Church, particularly for the youth and families.
Acutis, who passed away from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was beatified in 2020 and is set to be canonized by Pope Leo XIV on September 7.
The pilgrimage will be under the episcopal guidance of Bishop Dennis Villarojo of Malolos and facilitated by the Friends of Blessed Carlo Acutis-Philippines.
