Feast of St. Robert of Newminster
|
In honor of the feast of St. Robert of Newminster on Friday, June 7, Fr. Weber will lead us in Evening Prayer (Liturgy of the Hours) at 6:00 p.m. in the main Sanctuary. We will have a relic of St. Robert of Newminster on display for veneration!
Enter through Doors B, C, or D. Handicap parking and accessible entrances are available at Doors B and D.
|
What is a relic? It is something that serves as a memorial to the deceased saint. They are divided into three classes. A first class relic is a body part of a saint. A second class relic is a possession that a saint owned. A third class relic is an object that has been touched to a first or second class relic or the saint touched himself or herself. We are blessed to have a first class relic of St. Robert of Newminster! By venerating this relic, we give thanks to God for St. Robert of Newminster and pray for the grace to imitate him.
