Sacred Relics of the Saints: Treasures of the Church: Saints Mary and Joseph Parish presents a teaching and exposition of Sacred Relics on Monday, November 29 at 6:00 pm at St Joseph Church. Father Carlos Martins, a Vatican-appointed expert on relics will be here with an extraordinary Vatican collection of over 150 relics, some as old as 2,000 years. Among the treasures will be relics of St. Joseph, 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. There will also be a portion of the Veil of Our Lady and 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. Throughout history, many healings have been worked in the presence of relics; and thousands have occurred through this ministry. 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. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please spread the word. The presentation by Father Carlos will be at St. Joseph Church on 40 Main Street in Salem. The exposition will begin at 7:00 PM in the St. Joseph School Auditorium, but you MUST attend the presentation in the church at 6:00 PM in order to visit the relics.
The Pope grants a plenary indulgence under the customary conditions (Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer according to the mind of the Supreme Pontiff) to be obtained by all faithful Christians truly penitent, if they are present at the sacred pilgrimage of the relics.
