Relics of Six Mexican Saints to Visit New Mexico May 20-21

“The relics of six Knights of Columbus priest martyrs of Mexico – canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000 – will be at Santa Fe’s Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi May 20 and Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Albuquerque May 21 as part of a nationwide pilgrimage organized by the Knights of Columbus. Thousands of Catholics have already turned out to venerate these same relics during the past two months in California, Texas, Colorado and Washington D.C.

Relics have long been a part of Catholic devotional practices. Since the days of the Apostles, Christians have preserved and honored the physical remains of men and women recognized as saints.”
