A first-class relic of Saint Carlo Acutis, the Italian teenager canonized in 2025 and widely known for his devotion to the Eucharist, will be available for public veneration in Cincinnati, Ohio, next month.
The relic will be displayed at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains from Feb. 10–12, offering Catholics in the region an opportunity for prayer through the intercession of the first canonized Millennial, according to The Catholic Telegraph, the magazine of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Acutis, who died of leukemia in 2006 at age 15, was canonized by Pope Leo XIV in September 2025. He gained attention during his lifetime for using self-taught computer programming skills to digitally catalog Eucharistic miracles around the world — a project that has since been translated into multiple languages and displayed in parishes and schools internationally.

The Cincinnati veneration comes amid a broader effort of post-canonization relic visits to dioceses across the United States and abroad.
In recent years, relics of St. Carlo have appeared “on tour” in multiple dioceses, frequently alongside Eucharistic-focused events and youth ministry initiatives. However, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has not described the visit as part of a formal national tour.
Further details on liturgies and public prayer times for the veneration of the relic can be found on The Catholic Telegraph’s website.
