CELEBRATION OF SAINT CARLO ACUTIS

The Auxilium Youth Group organized a special programme on the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis on September 10th, 2025. The session was led by Sr. Shobhana Pereira, who highlighted the inspiring journey of this young saintly teenager, known as the “Apostle of the Internet.”

Sr. Shobhana Pereira spoke about Carlo’s deep love for the Eucharist, his devotion to daily Mass and Adoration, and his passion for using technology to spread the message of God. She emphasized how Carlo, though only fifteen when he died of leukemia, became a shining example of holiness for today’s youth, balancing studies, sports, hobbies, and a strong spiritual life.

To make the session more interactive, a quiz on the life and spirituality of Carlo Acutis was organized by Mrs. Shefali D’souza. The students enthusiastically participated, answering questions on Carlo’s childhood, faith journey, computer skills, love for the Eucharist, and the miracles associated with him.

Finally, prizes were distributed to the winners, encouraging all students to learn from Carlo’s example and strive to live faith-filled lives in their own daily circumstances.

The seminar concluded with a note of gratitude and inspiration, as the youth were reminded that, like Carlo, “we are all born originals, but many die as photocopies”—a call to live authentically and with God at the center of our lives.
