Send to friend
On July 22 and 23, St. Francis de Sales Oratory in South St. Louis hosted, "Treasures of the Church," an exhibit of more than 150 relics, including those of St. Francis de Sales, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the "Little Flower"), St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Faustina Kowalska and more. Also included in the collection is a piece of what is believed to be the veil of the Blessed Mother and one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross. The display was brought to St. Louis by Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross, who gave a presentation on the relics both days.
