Nationwide visited the Holy Family Church in Ardfinnan to report on the Shrine to St Carlo Acutis

The Nationwide programme on RTE One TV on Wednesday, 5th August will be highlighting the recent 100th Anniversary of the Eucharistic procession in Cork. At this historic event, relics of the new Millennial Saint, St Carlo Acutis, were brought from Assisi to Cork as part of the celebrations.

Reporter Colm Flynn will also visit the Holy Family Church in Ardfinnan to report on the Shrine to St Carlo Acutis, which contain the First and Second-Class relics of the saint and the impact the saints relics and shrine have had in the village. He will be speaking to some young parishioners including Rian and Isobel O’Keeffe, and Milly O’Sullivan on their faith and how the Saint has helped them on their faith journey.

He will also speak to Parish Priest Fr Michael Toomey on how this young saint has re-ignited faith across all ages, and has seen an influx of people from across the country to the shrine in Ardfinnan, to pray for St Carlo’s intercession and to be inspired by his young life of faith.

Nationwide will be broadcast on RTE One on Wednesday 5th August at 7pm and will be available on the RTE Player.
