St Carlo Acutis shrine in Tralee to be blessed this evening

A new shrine to the recently-canonised Carlo Acutis will be blessed in Tralee this evening.

Carlo Acutis, known as the Millennial Saint, used his computer skills to promote his faith, while he also helped the bullied, homeless and immigrants.

He died of leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006, and was canonised last year.
