The Regina Apostolorum Hospital had the extraordinary honor of hosting the Great Reliquary of Saint Bernadette Soubirous, brought from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. The relic, a symbol of Saint Bernadette’s unwavering faith, was displayed for three days in the hospital’s church, making it the only healthcare facility in Italy to receive this privilege.
This event held great spiritual significance for the local community and all the faithful who wished to pay homage to the saint of Lourdes. The relic displayed at the hospital contains a rib of the saint, taken in 1925 when her body was exhumed for beatification—an enduring symbol of unwavering faith and Christian witness.
The faithful had the opportunity to participate in moments of prayer, Eucharistic celebrations, and occasions for catechesis and reflection, guided by religious leaders and pastoral animators.
