Handmade Reliquaries
On January 25, 1997, at Santa Teresita Hospital, in Duarte, California, we put together a special day for area residents to view the Saints Alive! collection of relics, and to hear various priests and authors speak on the subject of relics and saints.
We have 2 audio tapes available from that special function:
Sancity & The Saints, by Fr. Robert Bishop, C.M.F., and
Sainthood & St. Thomas Aquinas, by Fr. Hugh Barbour, O.Praem.
We are requesting a donation of $4.99 each, plus $1.00 shipping per tape. If you are interested in these talks, you can mail your written request to the address below. Please specify which tape you are interested in.
If you are the proud keeper of a relic, we have some suggestions for displaying it with (humble) pride.

Other Suggestions:
Hopefully, you have seen from our displays the various ways a relic of a saint can be displayed in honor.
Besides the cross that is displayed here, you can also get a regular picture frame (about 1/2" in depth should be good enough, but 3/4" is better), place a picture of the saint whose relic you have along side the relic itself. Add some nice cloth as a background. Use wood putty to secure everything in place. It takes a little work, but the results are certainly worth the effort.
