Blessed Carlo Acutis touched the world with his devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, documenting eucharistic miracles around the world and cataloguing them on a website he created.
This week, the relics of the teenager who died of leukemia in 2006 will make a stop in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.
The national Eucharistic Revival tour also contains the relics of St. Manuel Gonzales Garcia, a Spanish bishop who cared for children in need and also had a love of the Real Presence.
