Praying with a Saint’s Relic | Chicago News

Two friends find profound peace in prayer before a rare relic of Saint Francis of Assisi, part of a global celebration marking 800 years since his death. For one, grieving the loss of her sister, these sacred moments offer healing and connection. The relic’s presence at St. Francis Church deepened its spiritual significance, becoming a sanctuary where people share fears and find solace — reminding them they’re never alone. As the church transitions leadership with Bishop Fedek’s farewell and Reverend Donovan’s arrival, it also prepares for a powerful cinematic experience: a screening of “The Sultan and the Saint,” narrated by Jeremy Irons, exploring the historic meeting between Saint Francis and the Egyptian Sultan.
