In his homily, Bishop Fintan spoke that from an early age, St Carlo developed a personal friendship with Jesus.
"This visit of St Carlo's relics is part of our preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Eucharistic Procession in Cork. This historic procession is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for our diocese. It is a moment to remember the faith of those who went before us, but just as importantly to renew that faith in our own time".
