To celebrate the canonization of Carlo Acutis on Sept. 7, the Cathedral of Christ the Light is displaying an exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles. The 120 panels in the collection are printed using designs and information compiled by the saint himself. About half of the collection is on display in the Upper Room, and cathedral rector Father Erick Villa hopes to rotate them during the exhibition so all panels, written in both English and Spanish, will be displayed. The exhibition will be open an hour before and an hour after the 12:10 pm daily Mass and from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sundays until Oct. 12. All who visit are invited to leave a prayer on the prayer wall.

“That is great to be able to teach the faith, but also on a personal level, you have to show it.” Carmen Navarro is the director of religious education at St. Paul Parish in San Pablo. She has walked with countless people who have learned about and experienced God’s love in their lives.

“Our children have this encounter with Christ on a daily basis in school,” says Dr. Andrew Currier, superintendent of schools for the Oakland Diocese, “and that's why we're here.” That sentence may capstone what the 45 schools within the diocese accomplish, but it barely skims the surface of what students, teachers, principals and everyone who touches school life co-create within the lives of the nearly 15,000 young people they encounter each day during the academic year.
