GRAND PRAIRIE – Inspirados en el ejemplo de San Carlo Acutis, jóvenes de la parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel en Grand Prairie impulsaron el sueño de traer una estatua del santo millennial a su iglesia y reforzar su mensaje de santidad en la vida cotidiana de la juventud.
“San Carlo Acutis representa a la juventud de hoy y demuestra que una persona joven puede tener un gran impacto en la Iglesia”, dijo Madison Treviño, feligresa de San Miguel Arcángel y miembro del grupo de jóvenes.
Acutis, nacido en Londres de origen italiano, vivió una vida típica de adolescente marcada por el gusto de los videojuegos, los deportes y el saxofón. Antes de morir de leucemia en 2006, usó sus conocimientos de informática para crear una página web que catalogó más de 180 milagros eucarísticos en el mundo.
