Sacred Relics on Display at St. Helena
Over 150 Sacred relics will be on display at St. Helena Parish, 1315 Olmstead Avenue, Bronx, from 8AM – 9PM on Tuesday, March 5 in the parish gymnasium. There will be a public teaching about the Sacred Relics at 7:00PM in the parish church. Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross will be here with a very special Vatican collection, some as old as 2000 years. Among the treasures will be relics of St. Helena, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower"), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. In addition, there will also be present a portion of the veil of Our Lady, as well as one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.
Those in attendance will be able to examine and venerate each relic. There is a special plenary indulgence attached to viewing this display. In the Church’s history, many miracles and healings have been worked in the presence of relics, and many have been healed through this ministry. Please do not miss this opportunity. You are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/family members which you will be able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession.
For more information, call the church at 718-892-3232.
