Relic of St. Carlo Acutis

Published on July 2, 2026

The relic of Saint Carlo Acutis has returned to the parish church from the Oratory at Castlecomer Community School, now that school is closed for the summer holidays. All are welcome to pray before the relic.

O God our Father,
we thank you for giving us Carlo,
a model of life for young people,
and a message of love for all.
You made him fall in love with your son Jesus,
making the Eucharist his “highway to heaven.”
You gave him Mary as a beloved mother,
and you made him, through the Rosary,
a cantor of her tenderness.
Receive his prayer for us.
Look above all upon the poor, whom he loved and assisted.
Grant me too, through his intercession, the grace
that I need (mention your intention).
Amen.
