The Iconography of the Contemporary Habit

The white Franciscan hoodie

To honor Saint Carlo’s resting place in Assisi, our design robes him in a white hoodie conceived as a modern Franciscan habit. This garment recalls his burial near the Shrine of the Renunciation and visually links him to the Franciscan and Capuchin charism while remaining instantly recognisable to young peopleThe red shirt and blue collar

Beneath the hoodie, Saint Carlo wears his signature red polo shirt, symbolizing Eucharistic fire and his burning love for the Blessed Sacrament. The blue collar forms a “Blue Line” of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, expressing the bond between his Eucharistic mission and his Marian heart.Marian bloodline: the rosary

 

In his left hand, Saint Carlo holds a rosary, representing his daily Marian prayer and his spiritual “bloodline” with the Mother of God. This detail invites the faithful not simply to admire the statue but to imitate his habit of the rosary and entrust their own mission to Mary.[starparish +1]

The laptop of devotion

In his other hand he presents a laptop, rendered not as a gadget but as a tool of evangelisation. Marked with Eucharistic and Marian symbolism, this device recalls the online catalogue of Eucharistic miracles he offered as a “highway to heaven,” showing that even the digital continent can be consecrated to Christ

​

To commemorate his canonisation, The Studio of Saint Philomena has faithfully sculpted a statue that captures Carlo’s youthful holiness, Eucharistic devotion, and role as a model for young people today.
