We are blessed to welcome the Miracles of the Eucharist Exhibit to St. Michael Parish Center from October 10–12. This international display was created by Saint Carlo Acutis, a modern teen saint who loved the Eucharist and used his computer skills to document Eucharistic Miracles from around the world.
The exhibit highlights miracles from over 20 countries, offering a powerful reminder of the truth we profess at every Mass: that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. Many of these miracles have been confirmed by modern science, making them both inspiring and awe-inspiring.
This free, family-friendly exhibit is open to all ages and features beautiful posters that invite reflection, learning, and deepening of Eucharistic devotion. Come and experience the wonder of the Eucharist through the eyes of a young saint who devoted his life to sharing its beauty.
Featured Miracles
Sokółka, Poland (2008)
During Sunday Mass on October 12, 2008, a consecrated Host fell to the ground and was reverently placed in water to dissolve. Days later, the parish sacristan noticed the Host had not dissolved but bore a red stain resembling blood. Scientific testing confirmed that the fragment was living human heart tissue, deeply interwoven with the structure of the bread in a way impossible to fabricate. Experts identified it as tissue from a person near death, consistent with the Passion of Christ.
Buenos Aires, Argentina (1992–1996)
In three separate events, consecrated Hosts began to bleed and transform. Samples were studied over many years by forensic pathologists, with results showing traumatized heart muscle tissue from a living human. At the time, the local archbishop was Jorge Bergoglio—now Pope Francis—who oversaw the investigations. Read more about the investigations and documentaries by Ron Tesoriero and “The Official Investigation” on YouTube.

Teresa Neumann (1898–1962)
A German mystic, Teresa lived the last 36 years of her life nourished only by the Eucharist. She received the stigmata and endured Christ’s Passion each Friday, often drenched in blood. Even the Nazi authorities feared her witness to the power of the Eucharist.

Saint Carlo Acutis
A Model for Our Time – Carlo Acutis (1991–2006)
Carlo Acutis was a young Italian teenager who loved computer programming and Jesus in the Eucharist. He created a digital archive of Eucharistic Miracles to help people rediscover the beauty of the Real Presence. Declared a Saint in July 2025, his incorrupt body rests in Assisi, where pilgrims continue to draw inspiration from his life. Saint Carlo reminds us that holiness is possible for everyone, especially young people.

Exposición de los Milagros de la Eucaristía
Estamos bendecidos de recibir en el Centro Parroquial de San Miguel la Exposición de los Milagros Eucarísticos, del 10 al 12 de octubre. Esta muestra internacional fue creada por San Carlo Acutis, un joven santo moderno que amaba profundamente la Eucaristía y usó sus habilidades en informática para documentar milagros eucarísticos en todo el mundo.
La exposición presenta milagros de más de 20 países, recordándonos la verdad que profesamos en cada Misa: Cristo está realmente presente en la Eucaristía. Muchos de estos milagros han sido confirmados por la ciencia moderna, haciéndolos tanto inspiradores como asombrosos.
Esta exposición gratuita y familiar está abierta a todas las edades y presenta hermosos carteles que invitan a la reflexión, al aprendizaje y a profundizar en la devoción eucarística. Ven y experimenta el asombro de la Eucaristía a través de los ojos de un joven santo que dedicó su vida a compartir su belleza.
Milagros Destacados
Sokółka, Polonia (2008)
Durante la Misa dominical del 12 de octubre de 2008, una Hostia consagrada cayó al suelo y fue colocada reverentemente en agua para disolverse. Días después, la sacristana notó que la Hostia no se había disuelto, sino que presentaba una mancha roja semejante a sangre. Los análisis científicos confirmaron que el fragmento era tejido vivo del corazón humano, entrelazado de manera imposible de fabricar con la estructura del pan. Los expertos lo identificaron como tejido de una persona en agonía, en consonancia con la Pasión de Cristo.
Buenos Aires, Argentina (1992–1996)
En tres ocasiones distintas, Hostias consagradas comenzaron a sangrar y a transformarse. Las muestras fueron estudiadas durante muchos años por patólogos forenses, quienes concluyeron que se trataba de tejido muscular del corazón de un ser humano vivo y traumatizado. En ese tiempo, el arzobispo local era Jorge Bergoglio —hoy Papa Francisco— quien supervisó las investigaciones.
Lea más sobre estas investigaciones y los documentales de Ron Tesoriero y The Official Investigation en YouTube.
Teresa Neumann (1898–1962)
Mística alemana, Teresa vivió los últimos 36 años de su vida alimentándose únicamente de la Eucaristía. Recibió los estigmas y cada viernes revivía la Pasión de Cristo, cubierta de sangre. Incluso las autoridades nazis temían el testimonio de su fe en el poder de la Eucaristía.
San Carlo Acutis – Un Modelo para Nuestro Tiempo
Carlo Acutis (1991–2006) fue un joven italiano que amaba la programación informática y a Jesús en la Eucaristía. Creó un archivo digital de milagros eucarísticos para ayudar a redescubrir la belleza de la Presencia Real. Fue declarado santo en julio de 2025. Su cuerpo incorrupto descansa en Asís, donde los peregrinos siguen inspirándose en su vida.
San Carlo nos recuerda que la santidad es posible para todos, especialmente para los jóvenes.

The annual St. Michael Jesse Tree Ministry provides Christmas gifts for children in need in our community.

Last year, we served 1,051 children in 385 families; this year, our goal is 1,045 children in 390 families from 12 schools and community organizations.

Our Jesse Trees are adorned with ornaments representing children’s gift requests. Parishioners are invited to select an ornament, purchase and wrap the gift, and return it with the child’s card attached.
