In creative competition
Church is now looking for more “influencers of God”
Another canonization is in the offing at the Vatican. Pope Francis has recognized a miracle attributed to Carlo Acutis. The internet freak died at the age of 15 and was beatified in 2020. The parish of Attnang is dedicating an exhibition to him and is specifically targeting young people.
The parish of Attnang is trying to find "influencers of God" with an unusual exhibition. From 2 to 16....June, "cyber apostle" Carlos Acutis will take center stage in the Church of the Holy Spirit. He is the first Catholic Blessed in a hoodie, jeans and sneakers who had a Facebook profile and an email address during his lifetime.
However, he also went to mass every day and campaigned for the poor and homeless. The internet freak created an extensive website about Eucharistic miracles at the age of eleven. At the age of 15, he suddenly fell ill with leukemia and died within a few days in 2006. He was beatified in 2020, and the Vatican is even considering canonizing him.
Creative competition for young people
Acuti's works at the exhibition in Attnang are now intended to inspire young people to follow in his footsteps. The creative competition, in which young people are asked to create a portrait of Acuti, is already fixed. A jury will select three works of art, which will then be designed as prayer cards.
