About The Relic Project

Our Mission The Relic Project aims to establish a worldwide online database of 1st and 2nd class relics so we, as a Church, may know which Saints we have, where they are located, and offer people the ability to request secure veneration of these relics. Our Goals Find Educate Support Our Vision Imagine each parish community throughout the world having access to an online database of all the Saint relics that exist in their community. Imagine each Diocese having a back up list of the relics which reside in their community. We are not just looking for relics in churches, but also in the homes of the laity, as it is paramount that these Treasures of the Faith be venerated and knowledge of their existence be made known. Countless tales exist of relics hidden away, forgotten about, and away from the light. As this project expands to other regions of the world, our hope is that communities are inspired to set up relic chapels like that of St. Anthony's Chapel in Pittsburg, PA. As a Church, let us heed this divine call and share these treasures with our community. Natural Disasters and Relic Recovery Have you considered the possibility of a natural disaster hitting your beloved church? Remember Notre Dame Cathedral and the story of the Crown of Thorns almost being lost to the flames? Only one person had knowledge of where the Crown of Thorns was. For natural disasters, having an online database where the Church can track these relics, having easily accessible contact information, and recover them is vital.
