Over 280 Saint Relics at Church in Saint Louis, Missouri

Saint Mary of Victories Church is located in Saint Louis, Missouri and houses over 280 saints' relics.

St. Mary of Victories is tucked away behind a labyrinth of interstate off-ramps and old industrial buildings. It's the church you see quite literally next to I-55 (on the east side) heading north into Downtown, just before the exit ramp to Illinois.

The church also houses more than 280 relics, including a piece of the True Cross; a thorn from Jesus' crown; and a particle from the sponge lifted to His face during the crucifixion.
Another piece of the church's history is a life-sized statue of Blessed Father Francis X. Seelos. The Redemptorist priest preached a mission at the church in 1865 and died two years later at the age of 48. St. John Paul II beatified him in 2000.
