We are excited to host the exhibition of “The Eucharistic Miracles of the World”. This exhibition presents some of the principal Eucharistic Miracles that took place throughout the ages in various countries of the world and which have been recognized by the Catholic Church.
The current exhibition includes 100 Posters, each describing 98 Eucharistic Miracles. Designed and created by Blessed Carlo Acutis, beatified on 10th Oct 2020. By means of these panels, one can “virtually visit” the places where the miracles took place. I encourage you to come and visit the church and participate in this exhibition thus enriching your understanding of the real presence of Jesus in
the Eucharist, leading to an increase of faith. Please signup online.
Blessed Carlo Acutis was a teenager of our times. Like many others, going to school and seeing his friends, and an expert for his age in computers. He was also unusually devout. He fell in love with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and exemplified the love of Christ to those he encountered, whether they were his schoolmates, family members, homeless people, and more. Carlo became ill and died at the age of fifteen from acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Shortly before his death, he created a website that cataloged Eucharistic Miracles and Marian apparitions to share them with others. On his website, he told people: “The more often we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven. “ He said, “To always be close to Jesus, that’s my life plan and I'm happy to die because I've lived my life without wasting even a minute of it doing things that wouldn't have pleased God”. Carlo also asks the same thing of us - to emulate the Gospel with our life, so that we can be a beacon lighting the way for others.
With an extensive assortment of photographs and historical and scientific descriptions, the exhibition presents some of the principal Eucharistic Miracles that took place throughout the ages in various countries of the world and which have been recognized by the Catholic Church. By means of the panels, one can “virtually visit” the places where the miracles took place. The current exhibition includes 100 panels that are used to explain 98 Eucharistic Miracles. I encourage you to come and visit the church and participate in this exhibition thus enriching your understanding of the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, leading to an increase of faith.
