that is disappointing. But it is interesting information. Once our
priest mentioned that every RC church is supposed to have a relic
or relics, installed as part of the altar. I wondered where they
came from (the relics). Our priest had no idea what relic we had
either. I guess they taken them sight unseen,eh?
