Continuing St. Carlo Acutis's legacy of evangelizing the Eucharist in the modern era.
The Acutis Initiative is a movement aimed at drawing us nearer to our Eucharistic Lord.
Through the work of the Acutis Initiative, we intend to continue the work of the 2024 Eucharistic Congress to help all of us in our WNY community grow in love, reverence, and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist.
And, we strive to share our love for the Eucharist with those in our daily lives.
We look to St. Carlo Acutis's example of following in the footsteps of the Apostles to make the Good News of the Eucharist known to the corners of the earth. He made the knowledge of His True Presence accessible and lived his faith joyfully and faithfully.
St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us!
