The Sacred Collection

Welcome to the world of relics at Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church. As a place of worship and community, we are proud to house a remarkable collection of relics that hold great spiritual and historical significance. Each relic serves as a powerful symbol of our faith, connecting us to the lives of revered saints and reminding us of their enduring legacy.

What Are Relics?

In the context of the Catholic Church, relics are physical objects associated with saints or holy figures. They range from small bone fragments and clothing relics to entire bodies or body parts of saints preserved through incorruptibility. The veneration of relics is deeply rooted in the belief that they connect us to the divine, serving as tangible links to the saints' spiritual presence.

Our Rich Collection

Saint Joseph’s Polish Catholic Church proudly houses a diverse collection of relics that have been meticulously acquired and preserved over the years. Our extensive inventory includes relics of various saints, martyrs, and influential figures from Christian history.

The Relic of Saint John Paul II

One of the most revered relics in our collection is the relic of Saint John Paul II, the beloved Pope who dedicated his life to spreading love, peace, and faith. The relic consists of a small fragment of his clothing, carefully preserved within a reliquary. This relic serves as a powerful reminder of Saint John Paul II’s profound impact on the global Catholic community.

The Relic of Saint Faustina Kowalska

Another cherished relic within our collection is the relic of Saint Faustina Kowalska, the Apostle of Divine Mercy. This relic holds a strand of her hair, encapsulated within a beautiful reliquary. Saint Faustina Kowalska's deep devotion to the teachings of Divine Mercy continues to inspire believers around the world, and this relic allows us to connect directly with her spiritual presence.

The Relic of Saint Maximilian Kolbe

We also possess the precious relic of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a courageous Franciscan friar who offered his life for another in the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. This relic, a small bone fragment, honors his selfless sacrifice and unwavering faith.
