In this special edition of Currents News, we’re exploring the life of soon-to-be saint Blessed Carlo Acutis. He is set to be canonized during the 2025 Jubilee year, but he has already become an inspiration for people in the Diocese of Brooklyn and around the world.
You’ll hear from the person who knew the future saint best: his mother. She’ll share how the tech-savvy teen created a website of eucharistic miracles and now is considered “God’s influencer.”
One person whom the soon-to-be first millennial saint has deeply influenced is Khloe Chavez. She learned about Blessed Carlo Acutis when a relic came to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Academy in Queens. Then, through a family friend, she received a video message from his mother.
Lastly, we’ll speak with Margaret Driscoll-Cheah, a New York woman who credits Carlo with helping her heal from stage IV kidney cancer and received a relic from a Diocese of Brooklyn priest.
