What’s On & Features

Saint Carlo Acutis
First Class Relic and
Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles

Hosted by Our Lady and All Saints Church
Saturday 14^th to Sunday 22^nd February

The first Millennial Saint, Carlo Acutis (1991 – 2006) who was a tech savvy teenager and nick-named “God’s Influencer” had a great devotion to the Eucharist.

Unlike traditional saints, he was a gamer and coder, who lived an ordinary life and his use of the internet for good serves as an example of balancing technology for genuine connection, not just online living.
Using his knowledge of computers, he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles from across the world and over several centuries, thereby bringing the truth of the mystery of Jesus’ real presence in the Eucharist to the forefront of people’s understanding.

First Class Relic

We are privileged to be able to host a First Class Relic of Saint Carlo Acutis for nine days in February.
The Relic will be sited in the Church
(Lancaster Lane, WN8 7HS).

Exhibition

At the same time, we will be holding an exhibition of 30 (of the 160) Eucharistic miracles he curated.
Each miracle will be displayed as a poster panel and each accompanied by historical details and scientific analysis.
The Exhibition will be located in the adjacent
Our Lady and All Saints school (Brandreth Drive, Parbold WN8 7HB) – a short walk from the church.

Both events will run from
Saturday 14^th to Sunday 22^nd February

Opening times are:
Saturdays and Sundays:
11:30am to 3:00pm
Monday to Friday:
11:30am to 3:00pm and 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

Parking
There is parking and accessibility at both locations and exhibition notes, prayer cards and children’s activities will be available at the exhibition. (All children must be accompanied by an adult).

Family First Aid

Family Forge have produced Family Aid packs, which are now available at the back of church for interested parishioners, parents or young single Catholics, secondary school teachers or chaplains, priced £5.00.

The packs are a useful aid for young Catholic singles to understand the dating phase of life better and the issues affecting dating and relationships. The content is best meditated on in a spirit of prayer. But the pack is also useful for parents or chaplains to contemplate and take the ideas within the pack to guide or discuss with their teens or youth groups.

The Aid encourages the setting up of personal boundaries in a world where anything goes and includes the effects on the human brain of certain behaviors because of this,  the aids can also be used by parents as a corrective where the behaviour embarked on is not leading to healthy lifestyles.

Adult Faith Formation:
