- This event has passed.
Through our Archdiocese’s partnership with the Maronite Catholic Archeparchy of Damascus, the Center for Mission and the Damascus Partnership Committee is facilitating a Martyrs of Damascus relic and icon pilgrimage throughout our Archdiocese. Visiting a sacred relic or icon may be part of your spiritual journey when you are seeking mental or bodily healing, answers to a prayer or guidance from our Lord. The first-class relic and icon of the Martyrs of Damascus pilgrimage for the new saints of the Franciscans (Orders of the Friars Minor) and the Maronite Catholic Church is in honor of their canonization on October 20, 2024. These martyrs highlight the ecumenical nature of this partnership and represent hope for Middle Eastern Christians.

The relic and icon will be on display at the following parishes:
- January 25 – February 17 Saint Maron, Minneapolis
- February18 – 27 Saint Nicholas, Elko New Market
- February 28 – March 10 Saint Raphael, Crystal
- March 12 – 21 Saint Francis of Assisi, Lake Saint Croix Beach
- March 22 – 31 Basilica of Saint Mary, Minneapolis
- June 23 – July 2 Cathedral of Saint Paul, Saint Paul
