Newsroom, Nov 23, 2024 / 06:00 am</p> <p>The major relics of St. Thomas Aquinas, “The Angelic Doctor,” are on tour and scheduled to make a stop in Washington, D.C., next weekend as part of the commemoration of the 700th anniversary of his canonization. </p> <p>Members of the faithful will be able to venerate the relics, including his skull, on two separate occasions: first at St. Dominic’s Church on Friday, Nov. 29, and then again on Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Dominican House of Studies. The event is co-sponsored by the Thomistic Institute. </p> <p>“In a time of renewed interest in the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas, the jubilees of his canonization (700 years in 2023), death (750 years in 2024), and birth (800 years in 2025) draw our attention to the masterwork of wisdom and sanctity which God wrought in him,” Father Gregory Pine, OP, assistant director at the Thomistic Institute, said in a <a href="https://thomisticinstitute.org/news-and-press/the-major-relics-of-st-thomas-aquinas-visit-the-dominican-house-of-studies" target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press release</a>. </p> <div class="my-4 lightest-grey-bg py-3 body-ad" style="text-align: center" id="div-gpt-ad-1439931607151-0"></div> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1439931607151-0'); }); </script> <p>“The opportunity that we have to receive and venerate his relics makes this grace all the more proximate and precious to us,” Pine added.</p> <p>Friday’s event will begin at 12:10 p.m. with a solemn Mass celebrated by Cardinal Wilton Gregory, archbishop of Washington, followed by an opportunity to venerate the relics of the revered theologian and philosopher from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will also be solemn vespers at 5:30 p.m. and night prayer at 6:45 p.m. with a Marian procession to follow. </p> <p>On Saturday, the Dominican House of Studies will begin the day with solemn lauds and a votive Mass of St. Thomas Aquinas at 7:30 a.m., and veneration of the relics will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pine will also preach at 3 p.m. that day. </p> <div class="my-4 lightest-grey-bg py-3 body-ad" style="text-align: center" id="div-gpt-ad-1441212700470-1"></div> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1441212700470-1');
