The Blessed Carlo Acutis Centre
TUESday, July 29 to Thursday, July 31, 2025 – Rome, Italy
A Part of the “Young Saints – A Pilgrimage in Rome” during the Youth Jubilee
Deo Gratias! Pope Leo XIV has announced that the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis will take place on September 7, 2025.
During the Jubilee of Youth, from July 29-31, Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) is hosting the Blessed Carlo Acutis Centre in Rome.
The Blessed Carlo Acutis Centre will take place at the Chiesa di San Marcello al Corso where pilgrims can venerate the first class pericardium relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis and write their prayer intentions on cards, which will later be taken to his tomb in Assisi. The site will include an information exhibit about Carlo and the Eucharistic miracles that he documented and will also feature a number of special events, Eucharistic Adoration, music, youth testimony, and personal prayer. Consult the schedule below for more information.

Collaborators
As part of the celebrations for the Jubilee of Youth, CCO along with international partner ministries, are planning for a number of sites or centres based in Churches, each dedicated to a particular Young Saint and a number of additional locations that people can visit in Rome. Pilgrims are invited to conclude by going through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica and visit the San Lorenzo Youth Centre just outside St. Peter’s Square. This project is being undertaken with the support of the Dicastery for Evangelization and the Jubilee Office.
