Article states:
...About
17 relics are continually displayed on either side of the altar at St.
Patrick Church in North Little Rock. Father Michael Magiera, who owns
most of the relics, which range from the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John to St. Pius X, said in the extraordinary form of the Mass, the
end of the offertory prayer makes reference to relics...“Very often in Latin Mass parishes, I have at least once or twice, a
relic is openly venerated,” Father Magiera said. “It’s taken to the
Communion rail and people kiss it.”
Our Lady of the Holy Souls in Little Rock has 6 relics, which
include St. Frances Cabrini and the True Cross, displayed in an ambry as
people walk in.
