Patron Saint of computer programmers dedicated at the Friary
A new shrine dedicated to Blessed Carlo Acutis has been installed in the Friary church.
Carlo was born in London. His Italian parents moved back to Italy, to Milan when he was a child.
Carlo, an amateur website designer, is best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles around the word and cataloguing them onto a website which he created before his death from leukaemia in October 2006.
“Blessed Carlo was beatified in Assisi in October 2020 on behalf of Pope Francis. He is the patron of youth and Computer Programmers. We pray that he will soon be canonised. Perhaps you might encourage young people to come pray and venerate his image,” Brother Lynch told the Killarney Advertiser.
“He had a great love for St Francis of Assisi and his tomb is in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Assisi.”
