**Relic: Saint Louis IX, King of France: The Archdiocese of Saint Louis was gifted a beautiful and large relic of Saint Louis, King of France; this relic was at the Cathedral of Monreale in Sicily and was given to the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. Since this treasured gift was given by Sicily, Archbishop Rozanski felt that Saint Ambrose should be the first Church in St. Louis to allow people to venerate this relic. There will be large amounts of time for people to come and pray before the relic; Friday, March 24 from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Saturday, March 25 from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 26 from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. A closing Mass at Saint Ambrose will be celebrated at 3:00 p.m. by Bishop Mark Rivituso.

The relic will be placed in the sanctuary of Saint Ambrose Church bordered by 2 candles with a kneeler in front of the Communion Gates for people to kneel in prayer. There are so many people who have made it possible for the Archdiocese of Saint Louis to receive this relic. Saint Ambrose Catholic Church thanks everyone for all they have done to bring Saint Louis home to the city named in his honor!
