Thanks to our good friend Fr Jordan Hainsey of the diocese of Covington, Kentucky, for sharing with us these pictures of the beautiful new relic shrine in Covington cathedral. Bishop Foys has appointed Fr Hainsey as the diocesan custodian of the relics, with the duty to care for and expand the collection, and promote devotion to the relics throughout the diocese.
On August 23, the feast of Rose of Lima, a relic shrine to St Paul was dedicated and consecrated in St Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in the diocese of Covington, Kentucky, by Bishop Roger J. Foys. The shrine is located beneath the cathedral’s baldacchino, and displays a collection of over 300 relics.
The heart of the collection is two skulls taken from among the 11,000 companion martyrs of St Ursula; these were donated by the shine of these martyrs in Cologne, Germany, to Covington’s third bishop, Camillus Paul Maes, in the 1890s. Over the course of his 30 year episcopate, Bishop Maes expanded the collection with dozens of 1st and 2nd class for the growing Church in northern Kentucky.
