Blessed Carlo Acutis relic central to Salt Lake City apostolate

Oct 10, 2024 236

What started with the acquisition of a first-class relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis – three hairs from the Italian blessed’s head – has grown into a veritable triumvirate of young saints' relics in the Diocese of Salt Lake City. After recently receiving a second relic, skin from St. Maria Goretti, Father Gustavo Vidal traveled to Mexico in order to obtain a third: a sliver of bone from St. Jose Luis Sanchez Del Rio

Intermountain Catholic reports that the relics are now part of the collection of the Blessed Carlo Acutis Apostolate, which hopes to draw young Catholics to the faith through promoting the example of these heroes.
