Relics of St. Faustina Kowalska, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and St. John
Paul II will be coming to a Boston mall’s Catholic chapel, and a local
priest hopes they will help mall patrons encounter the reality of
Christian love.
“Our hope is that these relics will be a source of spiritual wealth
for the Church of Boston,” Father James Doran, O.M.V., told CNA. “We
hope that all the faithful who live and work in Boston and all those who
travel there will know that right in the heart of the city they have
access to the two greatest treasures the Church possesses: the
Sacraments and relics of the saints.”
Father Doran is director of the St. Francis Chapel
at Boston’s Prudential Center mall. The mall, located in Boston’s Back
Bay neighborhood, hosts more than 75 shops and restaurants.
Cardinal Sean O’Malley will celebrate an Oct. 16 Mass there just
after noon as part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the
Oblates of the Virgin Mary, who run the chapel. Venerable Pio Bruno
Lanteri founded the oblates in Turin in 1817.
The Mass will launch public veneration of the relics, which will remain at the mall chapel.
