We we’re blessed to be invited to participate in the Blessed Carlo Acutis mass at Benburb Priory, Co. Tyrone. Seeing so many people coming out to bless themselves with the relics of Blessed Carlo was a powerful sight.

The interest in experiencing a beautiful mass with the chance to learn more about Blessed Carlo’s life filled the priory. There was such a pull to Blessed Carlo and his relics, that the chapel was left with standing room only. Many people were lined up outside the chapel, faithfully desiring to be present for this historic event.

The chapel was packed! We’re not sure how many attended, but we guessed 500

We were blessed to be a part of this event, and we thank the priory so much for allowing us to set up our table outside. Many people we talked to were so thankful to get a chance to bless themselves and their sacramentals off of our relic of Veronica’s Veil.

We look forward to going back to Benburb Priory in the future! They’re doing amazing work out there keeping their Priory alive.
