About the event

Visit of relics of Carlo Acutis
The relics of Blessed, and soon to be Saint, Carlo Acutis are at St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, from Saturday 13 September to Monday 15 September 2025.

Archbishop Leo said: “It is a real blessing for our Archdiocese to welcome the relics of Carlo Acutis.

"The late Pope Benedict, when visiting Britain in 2010, called on our young people to be the "Saints of the 21st Century”.

"Carlo’s life is a powerful witness to precisely that, the beauty of holiness in our time, and a reminder that sanctity is possible at every age.

"I pray that his visit will especially inspire our young people to deepen their love for the living Lord in the Eucharist and to follow Him with renewed faith and courage."

***
On Saturday 13 September the relics will be present for our annual Altar Servers' Day at The Gillis Centre in Edinburgh. This event is for Altar Servers and volunteers only. If you have a child who is an altar server in the Diocese, please register fo this event with your parish priest.
