Episode Details

A Donegal school is making history as the first in Ireland to be named after Saint Carlo Acutis, the ‘God’s Influencer’ — a 15-year-old tech-savvy saint who used the internet to spread faith before dying from leukemia in 2006. Canonized by Pope Leo XIV last September, he’s now the patron saint of the internet, inspiring a principal who sees his legacy as a beacon for modern youth. This weekend, relics of Saint Carlo will arrive at the newly renamed Scoil Naomh Carlo Acutis for a celebration, with Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo and the Bishop of Raphoe Diocese attending. His path to sainthood included two miracles: healing a Brazilian child and saving a Costa Rican student — both attributed to prayers to him — leading to his beatification in 2020 and eventual canonization.
