St. Carlo Acutis Movie Night

A Parish Celebration & Teen Fundraiser

Sunday, May 3 | Doors Open 5:30 Movie 6:30PM | Holy Family Hall

Join us for a parish-wide movie screening celebrating the life of Saint Carlo Acutis, the young saint known for his love of the Eucharist and his work cataloguing Eucharistic miracles from around the world.

This special evening will also help support our parish teens traveling to Steubenville East 2026, a Catholic youth conference hosted by Life Teen and Franciscan University of Steubenville. The conference is centered on encountering Christ through dynamic talks, community, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The theme for 2026 is “You Are Worthy.”

Special Celebration: The First Birthday of Saint Carlo

May 3 would have been Carlo’s birthday. Since his canonization, this is the first time we celebrate his birthday as a saint.

To mark the occasion, we will celebrate with a special screening of a documentary on his life and a simple birthday celebration together as a parish.

How does this tie in with our movie night?

Saint Carlo Acutis often said that “the Eucharist is the highway to heaven.” His life was centered on helping others rediscover the beauty and reality of Christ present in the Eucharist.

That same focus is at the heart of the Steubenville conferences, where thousands of teens gather each summer through the outreach of Life Teen and Franciscan University of Steubenville. Through powerful talks, worship, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, young people are invited to encounter Christ in a real and life-changing way.

Your support helps make it possible for teens from our parish to experience this weekend and continue growing in their faith.
