Eucharistic Miracles of the World
NEW! Siouxland Catholic Radio is excited to announce the expansion of the Eucharistic Miracles of the World Exhibit thanks to the generosity of the Knights of Columbus Trinity Council #1466, Le Mars, Iowa; Garrigan Knights of Columbus Assembly #265 and their supporting Councils.
Youth from Onawa, Blencoe, and Salix viewed the Eucharistic Miracles of the World Exhibit after Mass.
Sacred Heart (Sioux City) Knights displayed three of the banners during a breakfast.
About the Exhibit
This Vatican-approved international exhibit was designed and created by Venerable Carlo Acutis. Venerable Carlo, an Italian teenager, was an avid an artist, cartoonist, and computer enthusiast. He created the art for the panels before his death from leukemia at age 15. His goal was to help bring others closer to Jesus through awareness of the mystery of the Eucharist.
Siouxland Catholic Radio proudly offers this display to promote Eucharistic Adoration, increase awareness of the Real Presence of our Lord in the Eucharist, and further evangelization, at no charge. A free-will donation is appreciated to maintain the exhibit.
The exhibit features seventy-one (71) different panels broken down into nine different categories. Some panels may reflect multiple categories, the host (glows, moves, survives), healing, conversion, and/or a miracle displayed:
-
Our Lady of The Eucharist - 7 panels, 5 primary miracles
-
Children - 4 panels, 6 primary miracles
-

What is a Eucharistic Miracle?
Eucharistic miracles consist of unexplainable phenomena occurring after transubstantiation, such as a host visibly transforming into human tissue, a host surviving fire, a host bleeding, or the Eucharist alone providing sustenance to a human being for a prolonged period of time.
To be considered a Eucharistic miracle, the event is investigated by a special task force before deciding whether it is worthy of belief. Secular sources are often used to investigate and confirm the miracle. Belief in approved miracles is not mandated by the Catholic Church but can reassure believers of God’s presence in our world.
The Display
Each panel tells the story of one or more Eucharistic miracles and is accompanied by photos and artwork. The panels were selected from 152 recognized accounts from as early as the third century. All the miracles displayed in this exhibition have been recognized by their local bishops. The exhibit is presented in the United States by the Real Presence Eucharistic Education and Adoration Society.
The banners are available for download in various languages by clicking here.
