New Reliquary for the Relic of San Rocco di Montpellier

San Rocco di Montpellier, ora pro nobis
Prior to Sunday Mass at Holy Innocents Church (128 West 37th St.) yesterday morning, our pastor Fr. James Miara kindly blessed our newly acquired Sudbury brass Cross reliquary for the first class relic of San Rocco di Montpellier with traditional blessing and holy water. Long overdue, we finally obtained a container worthy of our glorious patron and wonderworker. We pray, through the intercession of the great hermit, austere ascetic and mendicant pilgrim, deliverance from contagious diseases, especially the virulent contagion of sin. Evviva San Rocco di Montpellier!

First morning prayers with new reliquary and votive candles
