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.
