We are honored to share an important new chapter in the mission of The Relic Project.

From September 3–6, 2026, our founder, Anthony Di Mauro, will travel to the Augustine Institute in St. Louis for the Jubilee33 Collaborator Summit. He will join bishops, confraternities, shrines, religious communities, movements, and apostolates working together in preparation for the Great Jubilee of Redemption in 2033.

Anthony will not be making this journey alone.

The Relic Project will bring more than 50 relics of the saints to St. Louis. They will accompany the Summit as sacred witnesses to the enduring communion of saints—and as reminders that the work of evangelization is never ours alone.

What is Jubilee33?

In 2033, the Church will commemorate the two-thousandth anniversary of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The mission of Jubilee33 is to bring the world to Jesus through Mary by fostering collaboration among bishops, confraternities, shrines, movements, and apostolates. Its vision echoes Christ’s prayer in John 17:

“That they may all be one…that the world may believe.”

The Relic Project is honored to be recognized as an official Jubilee33 collaborator.

We believe the saints have a vital role to play on this journey. Through their witness, their intercession, and the veneration of their relics, they help make the reality of the Incarnation tangible and lead people into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ.

An “Upper Room” moment in St. Louis

The St. Louis Collaborator Summit is the first gathering of Jubilee33 collaborators. Organizers describe it as an “Upper Room” moment: an opportunity for Catholic leaders and apostolates to pray, listen, discern, and discover how their distinct charisms can serve a shared mission of evangelization.

The Summit will also help advance the development of the Instrumentum Laboris, also known as The St. Louis Document. This document will explore the Marian dimension of evangelization, the interconnected roles of the participating collaborators, and the practical ways these ministries can work together as the Church journeys toward 2033.

According to the official speaker schedule, Anthony will participate in the Collaborator Presentations and Insight Roundtable on Friday, September 4.

He will share the charism of The Relic Project: uncovering, documenting, and making accessible the Church’s hidden sacred heritage so that people can encounter the saints in their own communities and be drawn closer to Christ.

At the center of that mission is our global Map of Relics. The map is not only a directory. We believe it is essential infrastructure for pilgrimage and evangelization. It helps families, schools, parishes, and individual pilgrims discover that an encounter with the saints may not require a flight to Rome or Assisi. Sometimes that pilgrimage can begin across town.

More than 50 saints will accompany us

The saints are not merely part of Christian history. They are members of the living Body of Christ.

That is why we are bringing more than 50 relics of the saints to the Collaborator Summit. Their presence will embody the very collaboration being discussed in St. Louis.

These saints come from different centuries, countries, vocations, and spiritual traditions. Yet each of them points to the same Lord. Together, they bear witness to the unity of the Church across time and place.

We pray that their presence will help remind every participant that the road to Jubilee 2033 is already being traveled with the whole communion of saints.

Carried by Eucharistic Adoration and the Rosary

This gathering will also be surrounded by extraordinary prayer.

A press release from the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses announced a Traveling Rosary Congress from August 31 through September 6. It will move through five host sites in two countries, offering seven continuous days and nights of Eucharistic Adoration and hourly Rosaries for the intentions of the Summit.

Every session, collaborator presentation, and stage of work on The St. Louis Document will be carried in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

The Traveling Rosary Congress will arrive at the Augustine Institute in time to accompany the Summit itself. Public participation and additional information are available through the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses.

We are deeply grateful that this work will be surrounded by prayer. Collaboration bears lasting fruit only when it begins with Christ and remains rooted in Him.

Looking ahead to PAC27 in Ottawa

The St. Louis Summit is a foundational step toward the PAC27 Marian Congress, which will take place September 2–5, 2027, at TD Place in Ottawa, Canada.

PAC27 will bring the Jubilee33 journey before a much larger gathering of the faithful through prayer, liturgy, pilgrimage, formation, and evangelization. Its program will include a Festival of Bishops, a Festival of Confraternities, a Festival of Shrines, the Saint’s Station, and the consecration and commissioning of pilgrims for the journey toward 2033.

Through the extraordinary generosity of a donor, The Relic Project has been able to become the official Triumph Arena Sponsor of PAC27.

We receive this opportunity with profound gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility. It will allow the witness of the saints—and The Relic Project’s mission of relic documentation, pilgrimage, catechesis, and evangelization—to contribute meaningfully to this historic gathering.

Please pray for us

As Anthony prepares to leave for St. Louis, we ask our entire community to accompany him and the Summit in prayer.

Please pray:

  • For Anthony’s safe travel and for the safe transportation of the relics
  • For wisdom, humility, and courage as he presents the mission of The Relic Project
  • For every bishop, priest, religious, lay leader, and apostolate participating in the Summit
  • For unity among all the Jubilee33 collaborators
  • For the prayerful development of The St. Louis Document
  • For the saints’ intercession over PAC27 and the entire journey to 2033
  • For every person who will encounter Jesus through this collaboration

If you are able, please offer a Rosary, a Holy Hour, a Mass intention, or another prayer for these intentions during the first week of September.

The Relic Project began by asking a simple question: “Where are the saints?”

That question led us to hidden relics, local pilgrimages, new relationships, and a global map. Now it is leading us to St. Louis and, God willing, onward to Ottawa and the Great Jubilee of 2033.

We go beneath Our Lady’s mantle, accompanied by more than 50 relics of the saints and supported by your prayers.

Our part is to seek, to begin, and to offer what we can.

God’s part is to bring the work to completion.

Our Lady and all the saints, pray for us.
