This event took place in January 2018.

The Archdiocese of Ottawa, the Jesuits in Canada and Catholic Christian Outreach are collaborating to bring the famous relic of St. Francis Xavier to North America for the first time in generations. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to venerate the incorrupt first class relic of one of the greatest missionaries and evangelists since St. Paul the Apostle.

We anticipate three particular extraordinary graces in this pilgrimage, all related to the charisms of St. Francis Xavier:

  1. conversion of souls;
  2. the raising up of missionary disciples who are abandoned to God’s will; and
  3. healing.

Our prayer is that—through this relic pilgrimage—you will have the unique opportunity to personally encounter the tender heart of Jesus. For a full schedule of the tour, visit www.cco.ca/relic.
