A Note to Our Major Donors

Thank you for your generous and sustained support of The Relic Project. Your giving has provided the stability and credibility needed for this mission to grow responsibly and in close collaboration with the Church.

Because of your support, we have been able to build the foundational infrastructure of the Map of Relics, document and preserve relics with care, and establish trusted relationships with clergy, parishes, and dioceses. Your generosity also allows us to prayerfully discern long-term initiatives, including the future establishment of a permanent relic shrine in Spokane Washington.

We are honored to steward this mission with transparency, reverence, and deep respect for the trust you have placed in us.
