Dozens of Young Catholic Professionals across the Diocese of Nashville were afforded the opportunity to experience one of the unique gifts of the Catholic Church during the monthly meeting of YCP Nashville on Thursday, Nov. 18, in the Cathedral of the Incarnation’s Fleming Center. Three relics of St. Padre Pio were available for veneration with the opportunity for attendees to touch personal sacramentals to them, creating third class relics of their own. Paul Chen, leader of the Padre Pio Prayer Group - Nashville, sets up the relics.
Relics: ‘Objects that are associated with saints or Jesus Christ himself’
Veneration is given to those who led a life of prayer, self-denial in giving witness to Christ
