This past weekend, a relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis, finished his Canadian visit in Ontario and is back home in Assisi. With him went the hundreds of prayer intentions that were written by people who had a chance to spend some time with Blessed Carlo.  The intentions were offered at a Mass celebrated yesterday in a chapel at Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. This is church where Blessed Carlo is buried. Fr. Patrick Salah from the Archdiocese accompanied Blessed Carlo home to Assisi and concelebrated at the Mass.
