Three Days of Prayer Seeking the Intercession of Blessed Carlo Acutis. Join us as Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, O.P. shares the journey to sainthood for Blessed Carlo Acutis, an amateur computer programmer, well-known for documenting Eucharistic miracles on a web page he created before his death. Having a deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist, Carlo died at the age of 17. He was declared Blessed in 2020, 14 years after his death.

Apologies in advance for a mistake that our envelope company made in the most recent mailing of envelopes to parishioners. The envelope marked “Triduum to Bl. Carlo Acutis” with the dates of “October 8, 9, and 10” is the accurate envelope to use. The separate yellow envelope marked “St. Joseph Triduum” and has the dates “October 1-4” is incorrect. Please disregard this envelope. As always, online giving helps eliminate the expense and use of envelopes. The link for online giving is available at https://churchofstjosephaston.org/donate-2 or on our parish website at churchofstjosephaston.org. Thank you for your understanding!
