👟♥️🚶 BE A SAINT IN SNEAKERS 👟♥️🚶

As a school community, we acknowledge Blessed Carlo Acutis who is being canonised as a saint this Sunday 7 September. As our first digital disciple, we are inspired to be more like Carlo. He dedicated his young 15 years of life to his faith. He shared his devotion through our 21st century reality- the internet! Let’s walk together with Carlo Acutis.

“To always be close to Jesus, that’s my life plan.”
