Some parishioners in Queens had the opportunity to connect with the saints during an All Saints Day celebration at Holy Family Church in Fresh Meadows.
More than 250 relics of saints were brought to the parish by Carmelite priest Father Justin Cinnante, who has been collecting first-class relics since he was in high school. During the vigil, parishioners held lit candles in remembrance of the heroes of the Church.
This year, the annual All Saints Day celebration focused on St. Josephine Bakhita, St. Gianna Molla, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, along with her parents, the patron saints of marriage.
