The 1500 Saints’ Relics Spiritual Heritage Expo

One of the most powerful and soul-stirring initiatives of the Foundation is the 1500 Saints’ Relics Spiritual Heritage Expo, inspired by the vision of Saint Carlo to make “Heaven crowded” by introducing people to the saints.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” – Hebrews 12:1

The expo features a sacred collection of over 1500 authenticated relics, including:

🔹 600 First-Class Relics

• Bone, blood, and flesh of Saints and Blesseds
• With ecclesiastical certificates of authenticity

🔹 900+ Second-Class Relics

• Personal items used by saints
• Authenticated with official seals and postulator documentation

Rare and Extraordinary Relics Include:

• A fragment of the True Cross of Jesus Christ
• A piece of the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary
• A fragment of the Pallium of St. Joseph
• Relics of the Holy Apostles
• Relics of modern-day saints, such as:
  • St. John Paul II
  • St. Padre Pio
  • Saint Carlo Acutis

Impact and Reach

To date, the Relics Expo has been hosted in over 142 locations across India, gracing shrines, basilicas, parishes, and seminaries. It has drawn 94 lakhs of faithful, leading them to renewed faith, deeper devotion, and inspired vocations.

“Go and make disciples of all nations…” – Matthew 28:19
