Why is St. Francis Xavier's arm flying across Canada? - RELIC TOUR 2018

Why is St. Francis Xavier's arm flying across Canada?

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/why-is-st-francis-xaviers-arm-flying-across-canada-73850

Ottawa, Canada, Dec 5, 2017 

While he was alive, St. Francis Xavier never got to ride in an airplane. They wouldn't be invented for 400 more years after his death.

But now, his severed arm will get to take a trip across Canada in its very own seat.

The relic of the Jesuit missionary, ordinarily kept in the Church of the Gesù in Rome, will be making a cross-country trip through Canada this winter, as part of an initiative from the university group Catholic Christian Outreach.


The arm of St. Francis Xavier, on display for veneration in Rome.

Angèle Regnier, co-founder of Catholic Christian Outreach, told CBC radio that travelling with the saint’s arm will be "like doing a road trip with a friend."

"I mean, I know it's bones, but connected to that is a living friendship with St. Francis Xavier," she said.

In the Catholic Church, relics are physical objects that have a direct association with the saints or with Jesus. 

The arm of St. Francis Xavier is considered a first class relic, which is the body or fragments of the body of a saint. The practice of venerating relics has been a scripture-based tradition in the Church for centuries.

Regnier will be accompanying the saint’s arm on its trip from Rome to Canada, where the relic will make a month-long tour through much of the country.

The fragility of the relic, which is encased in a gold & glass reliquary & has its own padded duffle bag, necessitated that it travel in its own seat on Air Canada.

"We can't put it underneath. We can't even put it in the overhead bins. Like, he has to have his own seat," she told CBC radio.

"You're trying to explain this to Air Canada. We need to book a seat. He is a person in a way, but it's not a person, it's an arm." 

The saint’s arm is a significant relic. With that arm, it is estimated that St. Francis Xavier baptized hundreds of thousands of people during his time as a missionary in Asia. The relic is also considered to be partially incorrupt, which means that it hasn't decayed in an ordinary way.

Regnier said that the group wanted to bring the saint’s relic to Canada because he is one of their patron saints. While a university student, Francis Xavier was known for being athletic & the “cool guy,” Regnier said. 

But it was also during time that he underwent a conversion, & his roommate, St. Ignatius of Loyola, became his spiritual mentor.

St. Francis Xavier would become one of the founding members of the Jesuit order, along with St. Ignatius of Loyola & Blessed Peter Faber.

"So for us, as a university student movement, we want university students to come alive in their faith, so we find a lot in common with St. Francis Xavier's history," Regnier said.

The saint’s arm will be traveling throughout Canada from Jan. 3 - Feb. 2, during which time the faithful are invited to venerate the relic.

"It's quite a production," Regnier said. "We want to touch most of Canada with it."

The schedule for the relic tour is as follows:

* Jan. 3: Quebec City
* Jan. 5: St John's
* Jan. 7: Halifax

In commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of St. Maximilian Kolbe his relics will be in Syracuse & available for veneration. Kolbe was a Franciscan Friar who was killed at Auschwitz by the Nazis, he sacrificed his life to take the place of a young father who had been selected for execution. This selfless act of love made him a martyr of charity. Ultimately Kolbe was killed by an injection of poison & for this reason he is also patron saint of people with addictions.

Through our commemoration of this martyrdom we also call to mind the millions of Jews who were killed. We will never forget the Holocaust of our elder brothers & sisters in the faith of Abraham & Sarah.

The evening will conclude with a prayer service and an opportunity for all participants to receive a blessing with the St. Jude Oil. 

The relic of St. Jude permanently resides at the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude in Chicago, Illinois and is featured on our list of pilgrimage sites by state.

Encased in a silver reliquary, the relic was presented to the shrine in 1949 for the 20th anniversary of the shrine’s dedication to St. Jude. It holds a place of honor and is on display for veneration by the public along with three smaller relics of the saint.
