--- title: "St. Carlos Acutis Day" url: "https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2026-01-29-st-carlos-acutis-day" school: "Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School" --- # St. Carlos Acutis Day ![Image of St. Carlos Acutis Day](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/news/8b3ad28a-7670-4e74-85a2-6b81c11d5913.JPG) 29 January 2026 **On 29 January, to mark the reception of the relics of St Carlo Acutis in our Deanery, five Year 8 and 9 pupils from our Chaplaincy team travelled to St Mary’s, Burnley for a special day alongside pupils from other schools across the Diocese.** The day gave pupils the opportunity to learn more about the life and faith of St Carlo Acutis and to reflect together through prayer and discussion. It was a meaningful occasion that allowed our pupils to represent the school with maturity and reverence. To mark the event back in school, pupils led a Celebration of the Word, helping the wider school community to reflect on the example of St Carlo Acutis. Pupils were also invited to wear trainers for the day as a simple but fitting reminder of a young saint who lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. St Carlo Acutis, often described as the first millennial saint, died at the age of just 15. He used his love of technology to share his faith, particularly through creating a website dedicated to Eucharistic miracles, and showed that holiness is possible for young people today through kindness, prayer and service to others. He is a powerful role model for pupils, demonstrating that faith can be lived authentically in the modern world. Alongside this, the school community supported a collection for our food bank. Pupils and staff brought in a huge number of donations for Maundy Relief in Accrington, showing great generosity and a strong commitment to supporting those in need.
