Relics of the Saints—A day of Exploration, Veneration, a Transformation

Come to learn about the Church’s veneration of the relics of the saints  since apostolic times. Why do we venerate the relics (bones) of holy martyrs? Why must each Altar be consecrated with having the relics of the saints in them? The relics of the saints give witness to holiness that was embodied in the flesh. Come to hear about miracles that have occurred  by those coming to venerate these relics,  Did you know that Enders Island has the relics of various saints—Sts. Peter and Paul, St Edmund, St. Rita, St. Veronica, St. Anne, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Andrew, St. John the Evangelist, Pope John Paul XXIII, St Philip Neri, St Anthony of Padua, St Joseph, St George, St Agatha, St Frances de Sales, St Clare of Assisi, St Stanislaus Kostka, Stephen the Protomartyr, and more.

Come to learn why the Church venerates relics and you will have the chance to venerate some relics towards the end.
Relics truly are a great grace given to men and women by God!
