MONTCLAIR, N.J. (OSV News) — The rector of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Oratory in Montclair sees an upcoming one-day exhibit at the church featuring hundreds of sacred relics as “a blessing from God.”
“I’ve never heard of an event having so many relics in one place,” Father Giandomenico Flora said ahead of the April 5 display of over 500 sacred relics of Jesus Christ, the Holy Family, and numerous saints, martyrs and blesseds.
“It’s a chance to ask the saints for their intercession, but it’s also an opportunity to feel inspired by their lives,” the priest said. “The saints were ordinary people who did extraordinary things for the world. Their relics remind us that we can all follow their example — everyone has the potential to be holy.”
The exhibit, which takes place in the church hall from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., is being presented by Joseph Santoro, the International Crusade for Holy Relics’ regional delegate to the U.S.
