Sunday, January 14 | Masses
Join us for this very special dedication Mass for the permanent installation of the relics in OLG's care.
We are building permanent displays for the relics (remains) of Saints in our possession. These will be placed in the main body of the Church and dedicated on January 14, 2024, so that we all may venerate and model the witnesses of Christ that came before us. All you holy men and women, pray for us!
As we prepare for the permanent installation in the Church space of the more than 25 relics in OLG's care, it is important to understand the why of it all. Relics are a part of our Catholic inheritance. Veneration of them has existed from the start of the Church community (and has a basis in the Old Testament). We honor the relics of Saints because we honor their fidelity to Christ. And by reflecting on the lives of these holy men and women, we indelibly draw closer to Him.
