St. Carlo Acutis

St. Carlo Acutis was a young Catholic known for his deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist, love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, regular recitation of the Rosary, and remarkable ability to use modern technology in the service of the Church.

He became especially well known for creating a digital exhibition documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world, using his computer skills to help others better understand and appreciate the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

His youthful appearance, ordinary clothing, and connection to technology have made him an especially powerful example for young Catholics.

The Demetz #600/250 captures this approachable quality while maintaining the dignity and craftsmanship appropriate for church statuary.

Made in Italy by Demetz Art Studio

Demetz Art Studio is internationally recognized for ecclesiastical sculpture and sacred artwork. Each fiberglass statue is individually finished by skilled artisans in Italy rather than produced as a standard mass-market religious figure.

Because these statues are hand-finished, slight variations in coloration, texture, and detailing are natural and contribute to the character of each piece.

Availability & Lead Time

Demetz fiberglass statues are generally made to order in Italy. Lead times vary depending on the selected size, finish, current studio schedule, and international transportation.

Please contact Holy Land Art Company for current pricing, availability, freight costs, and estimated lead time, particularly if the statue is required for a specific dedication, feast day, school opening, or installation date.
