Life Lessons from Bl. Carlo Acutis with Debbie Gaudino
- Summary
-
Blessed Carlo Acutis accomplished so much during his 15 years on earth. In this course you will have the opportunity to meet this young saint, whose devotion to the Eucharist inspired him to develop a comprehensive website on Eucharistic miracles. Together we will learn important lessons from his life, death, and the virtues that have set him upon the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church. Using his own website as our guide, we will also explore several Eucharistic miracles.
In this course, students will be introduced to the life, times, and spirituality of Blessed Carlo Acutis. Through a series of Life Lessons, students will be challenged to apply the virtues and life of Blessed Carlo to their own lives. Each class will also include an examination of a Eucharistic miracle from Blessed Carlo’s own website.

Debbie Gaudino
Debbie Gaudino graduated with a BA from Fordham University. After spending nearly a decade working in the Banking and Finance industry, Debbie and her husband Anthony made the life changing decision to homeschool their two children.
While homeschooling, Debbie received her MA in Theology and Pastoral Ministry and began to serve the Church in a variety of roles. Now a veteran homeschooling Mom (her son is a novice and seminarian in the Red Bank Oratory of St. Philip Neri and her daughter is a student at Franciscan University of Steubenville), it is a great joy for Debbie to continue to serve the homeschool community as a Latin and Theology teacher at Homeschool Connections.
Additionally, Debbie is the Director of Religious Education for the Parish of St. Thomas More in Manalapan, NJ and is blessed to be a Woman of Vallicella, which is a secular member of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri. In her free time, Debbie enjoys long walks on the Jersey Shore with her husband, visiting her native Brooklyn, NY for good Italian food and rooting for the ever losing, but always lovable New York Mets.
