Faith & Life



  • Carlo loved the Eucharist and went to daily Mass. How can we make the Eucharist more central in our own lives?

Technology & Modern Life


  • Carlo used technology for good—he created a website to share Eucharistic miracles. How can we use the internet and social media to share goodness instead of negativity?
  • What are some ways technology can pull us away from God, and how can we guard against that?

Oh God, Our Father,
thank you for giving us Carlo,
 a life example for the youn
gand a message of love for everyone


You made him become enamoured with 
Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist 
his “Highway to Heaven”.
You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother, 
and, with the Rosary, you made him 
a poet of her tenderness. Receive his prayer for us.
Above all, gaze upon the poor, 
whom he loved and helped.
Grant for me too, by his intercession, 
the grace that I need ...
And make our joy fulfilled,
placing Carlo among the Saints 
of your Church, so that his smile 
may shine again for us in the glory of your name.

​Amen
