I pray that everyone who sees this post is having a Blessed Christmas Season! Christ is Born! Glorify Him! It's been a bit busy for our ministry, so I am behind on posting here. I offer my apologies. Howevere, here is a combined post for the last two public venerations we did. I hope you enjoy seeing the relics.

Back on October 22, 2023, we were able to have nine relics available for veneration after the two Sunday morning Masses. The relics were from saints whose feast days were during October. Between the two Masses about thirty or so people decided to venerate the relics (which included relics of Saint Therese of Lisieux and Pope Saint John Paul II).

Then on November 1, 2023, for the Feast of All Saints, fifty-five different relics were available for veneration after the morning Mass. This was at a different Church than usual...Prince of Peace Roman Catholic Church. The relics were from saints such as Saint Nicholas, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Saint John Vianney. About thirty or so people decided to venerate the relics.

We are hoping to provide even more options for veneration by the faithful in 2024. I pray you all have a wonderful New Year!
