Legacy

Acutis's exhibit has toured in many places across the world.

The listed miracles by Acutis were exhibited across the Archdiocese of Detroit, especially Dearborn. Therefore, children were inspired by the compiled lists that help them to "grow closer to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament." [4] In Our Lady of Pity's Church, Staten Island, New York, the internationally renowned "Eucharist Miracles of the World" exhibition featured 75 panels that showcase the miracles around the world. This is considered an "inspiring testament to faith and devotion." It holds special significance to his canonization. [5]

Miracles not listed by Acutis

Acutis died in 2006, so some miracle claims, particularly those that happened after his death, are not listed by him. The following is a list of those events. This list includes events with positive judgments and events with no judgments by Church authorities.

List of miracle claims rejected by Church authorities

In the modern era, the Catholic Church's process of discerning miracle claims can conclude that an event was naturally caused. [14]

Miracle CityYearCountrySummaryNotes
South St. Paul 2011United StatesIn the process of dissolving a discarded consecrated host in water, red coloration was noticed. The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis found the cause to be fungus. [15]
Kearns 2015United StatesA consecrated host appeared to bleed. An investigation by the Diocese of Salt Lake City concluded that "red bread mold" naturally caused the coloration. [16] [17]
Morris 2025United StatesSpots thought to be blood found on two discarded consecrated hosts. Laboratory analysis showed that these were caused by natural bacteria. [18] [19]
