Treasures of the Church Exposition of Sacred Relics

The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul welcomes you to a teaching and exposition of Sacred Relics. Over 150 relics will be shown, some as old as 2,000 years.

Among the treasures will be relics of St. Joseph, St. John the Baptist, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska.

There will also be a fragment of the Veil that belonged to Our Lady and some of the largest remaining pieces of the Wood of the True Cross in the world.

Presented by Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross

Held in the Basilica on Thursday, March 24 at 6:30 pm

Fr. Carlos Martins' invitation:

I begin each exposition with a presentation and teaching on relics which provides the catechetical and spiritual basis for the Walk with the Saints that follows the presentation.  The point of the teaching is nothing other than to present the basic Gospel message of Jesus Christ: that God is here right now and wants to be encountered; He touches us through the lives and the sacred remains of His Saints.  God never disappoints ... he always “shows up.”  There are healings at every exposition.  Hundreds, perhaps even thousands, have been reported to me.  Spectacular ones.  I have seen cancer, heart disease, tumors, osteoporosis, physical deformities, etc., disappear immediately and completely.  Though a great number of miracles have been physical (my website lists a sample of these), the most spectacular are the healing of faith, where a new and deeper relationship with God and His Saints are formed in the faithful.  It is a most beautiful thing to see a parish or school renewed after an exposition.  That is the reason why I have this ministry.  I am looking forward to bringing it to you.


Please spread the word!

Note that the Treasures of the Church presentation will also be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Chattanooga on March 23 at 6:30pm.
