I thought it would be interesting to make a list of the locations of the Saint’s relics. I will start the list. Use this format:
  • Saint’s Name/Church Name/Location
 
The displayed body (waxed) of a 13/14 year old girl martyr from the Catacombs in Rome. - Benedictine Sisters in Clyde Missouri

I think you want the location of relics of a particular saint, but I would like to add this:

There are many, many relics (first and second class) of various saints at the Benedictine Convent at Clyde which is very close to the Benedictine Abbey at Conception MO. (Conception Abbey Press) Both are not far from St. Joseph MO.

These relics were sent to the U.S. between WW I and WW 2 from various Benedictine houses in Europe. They were fearful about the safety of the relics in the case of another war and rightly so, it seems.

I would not venture a guess as to how many relics there are at Clyde, but it takes a rather long time to walk around and read the names of all the saints honored there. It certainly is worth a visit if in the area.
 
I am sorry I couldn’t remember the name of the saints, but in my parish, in Hue City, Vietnam, there were at least 10 to 15 small bones for 10 to 15 Vietnamese Martyrs in the Sacristy .

I was an altar boy and able to see the relic every time I served. When I was young, I didn’t think of the relics and nobody mentioned much about it. I was really closed to the relics and had chance to clean and touch the exterior box containing those bones of the Saints. How awesome to think about it now.
