This morning Infant Jesus parishioners Jimmy and Lori Duplissey had the opportunity to meet the Holy Father at the Vatican.
They presented him with a copy of this original painting of Blessed Carlo Acutis by a local artist, Mr. Solis.
The painting shows Blessed Carlo with the wi-fi symbol as his halo which references his work to bring the story of the Eucharist to his fellow young people through an online catalogue of Eucharistic miracles. Blessed Carlo died in 2006 at the age of 15 and was beatified by Pope Francis in 2020.
Jimmy and Lori will also present a copy of this painting to Blessed Carlo's mother in Assusi.
The original painting will hang in the Blessed Carlo Acutis Chapel at the new Diocese of Beaumont Christ Central Youth Camp, to be dedicated by Bishop Toups in July 9.
I was also blessed to receive this copy of the painting for Infant Jesus as well, and I look forward to it hanging in our St. John Bosco high school youth room.
