Strength of the Saints Relic Tour - Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Phoenix, California, Washington, Maryland

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is sponsoring a tour of the relics of Saints John Fisher& Thomas More as part of its annual Fortnight for Freedom initiative to promote respect for religious liberty.

The relics will be venerated in Miami, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles,& Washington.

The fortnight, whose 2016 theme is “Witnesses to Freedom,” begins on June 21& concludes on July 4.

Strength of the Saints Relic Tour

Join Catholics across Minnesota in venerating the relics of 2 saints who exemplified courage & conviction in the face of persecution. St. Thomas More & St. John Fisher were prominent 16th century Englishmen who stood against King Henry VIII’s attempted supremacy over the Catholic Church, & accepted martyrdom instead of abandoning their faith.

This fearless witness is especially compelling to American Catholics today, as we face threats to our religious liberty & rights of conscience. Come to learn more about the lives of these saints, ask for their prayers, & be inspired by their example.

The Strength of the Saints Relic Tour is being organized by the Minnesota Catholic Conference, & is part of the broader Fortnight for Freedom, a call to 14 days of prayer, education, & action for religious freedom in the United States & abroad.
