“Jesus Christ, Our Eucharistic Lord” was the theme for the Catholic Vacation Bible Camp held recently at Holy Trinity Church for children in grades Pre-K through Grade 6. Older children volunteered as Guardian Angels to help the younger ones when needed.
Father Thomas McCabe, Parochial Administrator, and 18 adult volunteers taught the children about God’s love for them in the Holy Eucharist, the peace and joy of Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary and had fun playing outdoor games.
They also learned about Blessed Carlo Acutis, who was recently proclaimed blessed by Pope Francis, and is known as the newest saint of the internet. Blessed Carlo was diagnosed with cancer and died at age 15, shortly after building a website dedicated to Eucharistic Miracles (http://www.miracolieucaristici.org/en/Liste/list.html) A mother whose child was slowly dying sought Carlo’s intercession and the child was instantly healed. The medical doctors could not explain it, thus this miracle through Carlo Acutis’ intercession proved to Church authorities that he is indeed “Blessed.” Another verified miracle through his intercession would make him eligible for canonization.
