Erin Kirk loves using her smartphone.
As a 21-year-old recent graduate of Duquesne University, Kirk works as a religion teacher at Padua Academy in Wilmington, Delaware.
“I am on my smartphone a lot,” said Kirk. “And I am always trying to find ways to grow in my faith.”
Unlike most people her age, Kirk isn’t exclusively texting friends or watching videos.
Often, she is learning about the Eucharist, thanks to the research of a saint who was just a teenager when he put together an exhibit chronicling Eucharistic miracles worldwide.
Resources compiled by St. Carlo Acutis on his website, “The Eucharistic Miracles of the World,” can now be accessed in the palm of one’s hand — through the “Saint Carlo Acutis: Eucharistic Miracles of the World” mobile app, which debuted in February.
Kirk is not alone.
Caitlin Daley, a 22-year-old from Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, was one of the first people in the U.S. to download the app.
“I feel so blessed that I was one of the first to see it. I still remember when I saw it on my phone the first time. I love exploring it. I feel like it makes Eucharistic miracles more accessible to people,” said Daley.
