On the feast of the Holy Rosary Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio visited Sacred Heart Church and prayed the Rosary with the children of Sacred Heart Academy. The children learned about Blessed Carlo Acutis and his love of the Rosary. Carlo was a 15 year – old teenager who died in 2006. He is also known for his love of the Eucharist. Watch the TV coverage of the event to learn more.
