1991 - 2026
The work created here is a celebration of the Millennial Saint Carlo Acutis. It is in the Church of St Vincent's Ballyferriter which is the most western point of church worship in Europe. The 400k standing stone is carved to hold the 2 relics which have been bequeathed to this parish.

Text either side of this panel gives a historical context to the work with mention of the commissioning parish, Fr Eohgan and the dates for the canonization of young Carlo.
The colour choices are based around the central green piece which has the triple christian knot design which in this instance represents God the father, His Son and the Holy ghost. This green is then surrounded by the blue and red glass which references Mother Mary. The Alpha and Omega placed top and bottom with surrounding patterns based on an early church window frame.
