Drexel Lecture Series: “What are Relics?”
What exactly is a relic, and why does the Church treasure them? In preparation for the visit of the relics of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, you’re invited to join us for our inaugural “Drexel Lecture” exploring the history, meaning, and spiritual significance of relics in the Catholic tradition. We will gather on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in the Neumann Room of the Cathedral Basilica at 10:30 a.m. Come discover why these sacred objects have inspired devotion for centuries!
