CHARLOTTE — More than 70 young people took part in the “Project Acutis Eucharistic Miracle Digital Challenge,” organized by the Diocese of Charlotte Youth Ministry Office in 2023.
Inspired by Bishop Peter Jugis’ pastoral priorities, this diocesan-wide project for all youth in grades 4-12 combined the bishop’s pastoral priority of “learn to proclaim the faith in a digital age, that we may better evangelize a culture” and the life work of teen Blessed Carlo Acutis on Eucharistic miracles.
Winners of the contest were: Irene Piazza, St. Leo the Great Parish in Winston-Salem, first place; Luciana Ferrante of St. Ann Parish in Charlotte, second place; Lucia Reynal of St.
Therese Parish in Mooresville, third place; Our Lady of the Rosary Parish in Lexington, Best Group Video; and Holy Spirit Parish in Denver, Best Parish Participation.
