Saint Vincent De Paul Parish is hosting “Walking with the Saints: A Reliquary Experience of Saints throughout History” on Saturday, November 7, and Sunday, November 8, after all the Masses (Saturday, 5 p.m.; Sunday, 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.). The exhibit will also be open for interested Catholic schools, Monday, November 9, and Tuesday, November 10.

The exhibit will feature 45 first-class relics of saints throughout five periods of Church history: the Age of the Apostles and the Church Fathers, the Middle Ages, the Reformation and Counter Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment and French Revolution, and the Modern Age. The Very Rev. Andrew Kemberling, V.F., has collected these relics for St. Vincent de Paul Parish since he came to the parish in June 2014.

This relic collection includes a number of popular saints such as St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Ignatius Loyola, and our very own patron saint, St. Vincent de Paul. The faithful will also learn about first- and second-century martyrs such as St. Modestus, St. Polycarp, St. Sebastian and St. Erasma. Twentieth-century saints are represented by St. Pius X, St. Gemma Galgani, and a Colorado favorite, St. Frances Cabrini.
