A new church in Argentina: Carlo Acutis
They are building a new church in Mendoza, Argentina.
It will be very
modern and use the latest technology.
The church is
dedicated to Carlo Acutis (photo above), a young Italian boy who died in 2006. He
was very good with computers and used the internet to talk about God.
The church will be in Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo,
about 13 km from the city of Mendoza. This area is famous for its wineries and
also for its nightlife. Many young people go there every weekend.
The land for
the church was a gift from local businesspeople, and Pope Francis approved the project.
Construction started on March 12, and the church will
be ready by October 2027. It will have space for 450 people, a special area for
young visitors, and technology to tell the story of Carlo Acutis. There will
also be a Via Crucis, a sanctuary for the Virgin Mary, and sculptures of two
saints.
Carlo Acutis was born in London in 1991 but lived in
Italy. He loved the Catholic faith and made websites about miracles.
In 2020, he became "blessed" because of a
miracle. On April 27, 2025, Pope Francis
will make him a saint.
People call him the "saint of the internet"
because he used technology to share his faith.
Mendoza is proud to have the first chapel in the world
dedicated to Carlo Acutis. The project hopes to create a place where young people
can feel closer to God.
The church will look like this
