Dear Parishioners, This Friday we’ll have the unique opportunity to pray and venerate a first-class relic of Saint Carlo Acutis, who was canonized by Pope Leo on September 7, 2025 at Saint Peter’s Basilica!  The relic will be available for veneration and prayer in the Abbey Church from the Priory School Mass (8:50am) until 12pm. The relics of Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare of Assisi, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne will also be available. The veneration of relics has been a tradition of the Church since the time of Christ. We read in the gospel how Joseph of Arimathea had the body of Jesus taken down from the Cross and placed in a new tomb.  Relics are not good luck charms or magic but they are meant to remind and inspire us of the holiness of the martyrs and saints. This event was made possible by a Priory and Parish Family Hope you're able to come and pray! May God Continue to Bless You and Your Families, Father Aidan,osb Saint Carlo Acutis. Pray for us!
