About

Teenager Carlo Acutis is the world's first millennial saint.
See what made him tick and take up his challenge to “be an original, not a photocopy.”

Make Your Own original painting.
Choose your own subject or draw inspiration from Carlo’s interests: computer game characters like Super Mario or Pikachu; animals like dogs, cats and goldfish; sports from football to kites; quizzes to quotes and everything in between!
All materials supplied (paint, canvas, brushes). Artists on hand to help - we'll help you be original and creative, whatever your painting skill level.

Includes light breakfast: Sausage sizzle (x1) and drink (x1) included: tea, coffee or juice. (served from 8:30am) Other light refreshments will be available.
Painting starts from 9:30am.

Optional extras (free) also from 8:30am: See Carlo's major first class relic touring Australia; view a mini-exhibition he created; meet Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo from Assisi, Italy; visit our beautiful heritage-listed church and enjoy the stunning views.
Family friendly event suits non-faith and faith-based backgrounds.
