Our FSP Publishing House of Peru-Bolivia hosted a book presentation entitled Carlo Acutis: a Eucharistic Soul. Written by Simona Rosario Acosta, fsp, and aimed primarily at young audiences, the new publication recounts the life of Acutis, an amateur computer programmer who documented Eucharistic miracles around the world and uploaded them onto a website he created before his death from leukemia in 2006 at the age of fifteen. The text also includes a Pauline proposal for the Eucharistic life and a guide for personal or group prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

The book presentation, coordinated by Father Joel Iparraguirre, head of the Archdiocese’s youth ministry, was held at the closing of the Lima International Book Fair on 7 August 2022. The Fair was well attended by all classes of people, and our sisters participated in it with a stand offering a wide range of publications contributing to the formation of the people of God in Peru.
