Our parish has a rich treasury of over 50 relics. The collection speaks to the history of our three churches, our stewardship under the Conventual Franciscans, and our new identity as Mary, Mother of God Parish. These relics are on display across our parish and can be easily viewed in person or you can explore them in more detail in the new digital gallery below! Following the main gallery, photographs are further grouped into Franciscan Saints, Saints of Mercy, and Parish Church Patrons (click "read more"). Click on the photograph to expand it. You can read more about the Church's tradition of venerating relics here!
