St. Carlo is a wonderful saint for modern kids to get to know.
SCPN chapters have worked with their principals in various ways to share his story and spirit in the classroom.
Here are some ideas.
- Parents visit classrooms. With the principal’s permission, find parent volunteers who would be willing to visit each classroom for five minutes to tell the students about St. Carlo Acutis.
- Here is a resource to help guide them.
- Let the parents bring little giveaways for the children, such as Carlo Acutis prayer cards, stickers, or wrist bands.
- If your parish has access to Formed, share the video The Boy from Milan: Stories of Carlo Acutis with families and teachers (via the principal).
- Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality is an excellent film about St. Carlo and what we can learn from him about being holy and whole in the digital world. It is available to stream on Credo.
- Via the principal, provide resources for teachers to teach about St. Carlo Acutis, if they desire to do so.
- Activity booklet for younger kids
- Activity booklet for older kids
- Lesson plan from Aleteia
- Eucharistic miracles lesson
- Some chapters, with principal’s approval, have invited a high school student to dress like St. Carlo and come into the classrooms to teach the kids about him on his feast day, October 12th. These “St. Carlos” have also been able to give away small items like St. Carlo water bottle stickers or St. Carlo medals.
