AN exhibition of miracles at a Malvern church was visited by more than 200 people.

During the weekend of June 25 and 26, the Parish of St Joseph's in Malvern, in association with St Wulstan's in Little Malvern, hosted an exhibition by Blessed Carlo Acutis on "The Eucharistic Miracles of the World."

The exhibition was designed, researched and devised by the young Italian Carlo Acutis.

He used his digital media skills to develop a website to catalogue miracles before he suddenly died of leukaemia in 2006 at the age of 15.

A seven year-old Brazilian boy was healed from a rare pancreatic disorder after coming into contact with a piece of one of Carlo’s T-shirts.

Following this, Carlo was beatified in October 2020 at the basilica in Assisi.

Over the weekend more than 200 people visited from all over the region from Worcester, Evesham, Bristol, Cheltenham and Birmingham.

Donations of nearly £170 will be sent to the orphanage in Egypt being supported by the Acutis family.

Anna Johnstone, the governess to the Acutis family, was on hand all weekend giving tours and talks, and seeing quite a few one-to-one, or small family groups.

One visitor said: "It was like having a little mini pilgrimage very close to home."

Another said: "Having a person like Anna talking to people gives an unusual insight into the life of Blessed Carlo.

"All the feedback was filled with thankfulness and emotion."

If you missed the exhibition, there is a collection of links on the St Joseph’s website at: https://www.stjosephsmalvern.org/j/index.php/articles/blessed-carlo-acutis-exhibition-of-eucharistic-miracles.
