Parish Celebration for Young People

Sunday, 7 September 2025 

We are delighted to share the joyful news that Carlo Acutis, the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint, will be canonized on 7 September 2025. Carlo, an inspiring Italian teenager who passed away in 2006 at the age of 15, was renowned for using his technological talents to spread faith most notably by creating a website documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world. To mark this historic event, our parish warmly invites all young people from St Patrick’s and St Mary’s who have been Confirmed within the last four years to join us at the 9.30am Mass. This will be a youth-led celebration with the music, readings and bidding prayers to be chosen and led by our recently Confirmed members. At the conclusion of Mass, each will receive a special certificate and a small keepsake in remembrance of Carlo’s remarkable life and legacy will be given to all young people. Let us come together as a parish family to honour this inspiring new saint and encourage our young people to follow in his footsteps. All are welcome.



Please join us for this very special occasion!
