St Carlo Acutis Retreat Day

ST • CARLO • ACUTIS • RETREAT • DAY

Today has been a truly special day at St Gregory’s as we welcomed the relics of St Carlo Acutis and spent time learning about the life of this inspiring young saint

We were delighted to welcome Sister Anna, a friend of the family of St Carlo Acutis, who brought a precious relic and shared Carlo’s life story with us, including the incredible miracles associated with him. Her stories helped bring Carlo’s faith and journey to sainthood to life for our children

Throughout the day, our children explored how Carlo used the gifts God gave him to share his faith and make a difference to others. Through activities, thoughtful discussions, prayer and creativity, they reflected on how they too can answer God’s call and use their own gifts for good

We came together as a whole school for prayer and liturgy, and children also had the opportunity to spend quiet time praying in the presence of the relics. It created a truly beautiful and prayerful atmosphere across our school

Carlo’s message to be “originals, not photocopies” was a wonderful reminder that God has made each of us unique, with our own gifts and purpose

What a privilege to share such a special day together — one filled with faith, prayer, learning and inspiration, and a day that will remain in our St Gregory’s memories for years to come
