Novena to Saint Carlo Acutis

How do you make a saint your best friend? A beautiful way is by praying a novena—a nine-day prayer that helps us ask for a saint’s intercession and reflect on their witness of faith. To celebrate the recent canonisation of Saint Carlo Acutis on September 7, we’ll have printed copies of a novena to him available for you to take home after all Masses on September 27 and 28. These copies were originally published when he was still Blessed—please simply refer to him as Saint Carlo Acutis while praying. Carlo, the first millennial saint, is a relatable example for young people today—faithful, tech-savvy, and inspiring us to live holiness in everyday life. The novena begins on October 4 and is meant for personal prayer at your own pace.
