In August 2023 , CCO coordinated the Blessed Carlo Acutis Centre at World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Blessed Carlo Acutis Centre was a place where pilgrims came to venerate a first class relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis. It included an information exhibit about his life and also featured times of Eucharistic Adoration, music, and personal prayer. Pilgrims were able to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist, which was Blessed Carlo’s deep desire.

Pilgrims were also invited to offer a prayer intention through cards which were left before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. After World Youth Day these prayer cards were brought to Assisi were a Mass was offered for these intentions near the tomb of Blessed Carlo.
