St. Carlo Acutis

Patron Saint of the Internet
Born in 1991, Carlo was in the middle of the Millennial generation. With a love for video games, films, sports, and normal “kid” activities, he showed us that everyday people can become holy. With wisdom far beyond his 15 years of life, Carlo now continues to teach us about Eucharistic devotion, evangelization, and love of the saints.

St. Luke

Patron Saint of Artists, Physicians, Surgeons, Notaries, Brewers, and Butchers
St. Luke was one of the four evangelists and a Gentile from Antioch in Syria. St Paul calls him “the beloved physician” (Colossians 4:14), indicating his previous occupation. As a writer, he composed the third Gospel, which provides the most extensive and thorough biography of Our Lord, as well as the Acts of the Apostles, an account of the early apostolic labors, especially those of Peter and Paul.

All Saints’ Day

All Saints’ Day honors the saints in Heaven – those who have been recognized by the Church as saints, as well as those who have not been canonized. The feast was established in Rome as a result of the emperor’s giving of the Pantheon (the temple to all the gods) to the Church and its dedication to St. Mary and All the Martyrs. This followed the principle, “Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!” (Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands). Thus, throughout the Mediterranean many churches have been built over pagan sites, sanctifying them for Christ. The Church celebrates All Saints’ Day on November 1.
