June 26, 2024: Our Visit to Blessed Carlo Acutis Tomb

We finished our day with a tour and visit to the Archbishop of Assisi’s residence to hear the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis. Monsignor Anthony, the priest in charge of the cause for Blessed Carlo Acutis’ canonization, spoke to us of Carlo’s beautiful life and deep faith. The Archbishop also came out to greet us before going into the church building which holds Blessed Carlo Acutis’ tomb. 
It was quite powerful for the pilgrims to see a saint that died at 15 years old in the year 2006 the same year many of these pilgrims were born. A moving and beautiful way to end the day.
