See the exhibit: 150 relics of Catholic saints
This amazing exhibition, which will be travelling across the entire state of Florida in the month of May, provides an incredible opportunity for Catholics to venerate more than 150 relics of the Church's greatest saints, including one of the largest remaining portions of the True Cross and a fragment of the veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The exhibit will stop at several parishes in the Archdiocese of Miami, but the schedule is still being set. Currently scheduled stops include: St. Ann Mission, Homestead, Saturday, May 14; Our Lady of Guadalupe, Doral, Wednesday, May 18, 6:30 p.m.; St. Gregory, Plantation, Friday, May 20, 6:30 p.m.; St. Malachy, Tamarac, Sunday, May 22; Cardinal Gibbons High, Fort Lauderdale, Monday, May 23; Little Flower, Coral Gables, Tuesday, May 24, 6:30 p.m.
Father Carlos Martins, CC, an ecclesiastically-appointed Curate of Relics, begins each exposition with a 60-minute presentation and teaching on relics which provides the catechetical and spiritual basis for the “walk with the saints” that follows the presentation.
