TANAY, RIZAL– In celebration of the feast day of San Ildefonso de Toledo, the San Ildefonso de Toledo Parish in Tanay, Rizal, is hosting a special exhibit featuring sacred relics of revered Franciscan saints.

The exhibit, organized by the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Ferdinand C. Delatado, opened earlier this week and will be available for public veneration until January 23, the feast day itself.

The exhibit offers a rare opportunity for visitors to view relics of notable figures such as St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi, St. Padre Pio, St. Bonaventure, St. Roque, St. Pascual Baylon, St. Fideles of Sigmaringen, St. Leopoldo Mandic, and St. Ignatius of Santia. These relics serve as a testament to the Franciscan legacy that helped establish the Church of Tanay.

“It is a privilege to share these sacred relics with our community,” said Rev. Fr. Ferdinand C. Delatado.

“This exhibit is not only an opportunity to honor the lives of these saints, but also to reflect on the profound spiritual foundation they have left for the Catholic faith, especially here in Tanay,” he added.

The exhibition also features the relics of other beloved saints, including St. Agustin, St. Dominic de Guzman, St. Benedict, and the parish’s own patron, St. Ildefonso de Toledo.

“Through this exhibit, we invite everyone to take a moment to reflect and deepen their devotion,” Fr. Delatado added.

The exhibit is open to all who wish to experience this unique spiritual opportunity and venerate the relics of these saints.
