BLADE STAFF

St. Anthony Catholic Church in Temperance will have an exhibition of sacred relics from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday in Kenna Hall, 4605 St. Anthony Rd.

More than 150 artifacts, some thought to be more than 2,000 years old, will be displayed. They will include what are described as pieces of the veil of the Virgin Mary and one of the largest fragments of the True Cross.

Visitors who bring articles of devotion such as holy cards and rosaries will be able to touch them to reliquaries containing the artifacts as a means of intercession. For more information, call the parish office at 734-854-1143.
