Healing & Renewal

Dear St. Martin of Tours Parishioners and Friends,

Screen Shot 2022 10 15 At 10.11.59 PmOn the Feast Day of St. Martin of Tours, Friday, November 11 right after the 8 a.m. Mass we are going to have a special sacramental celebration of HEALING and RENEWAL by anointing all who attend with special oil that has been blessed in the presence of the image of the Holy Face of Jesus, which resides at the official shrine of the Holy Face in Tours, France—the very city which is under the special patronage of St. Martin.

St. Martin of Tours himself is regarded as one of the saint protectors of the image of the Holy Face of Jesus, along with St. Louis IX, the King of France.

There have been more healings attributed to the special anointing of the holy oil of the Holy Face of Jesus than any other Catholic devotion or holy site, even more than at Lourdes, France.

In fact, my own involvement with this devotion began when I was first ordained some fifteen years ago, and the sister of one of my parishioners at Saints Joachim and Ann parish in St. Peters was miraculously cured from cancer by being anointed with this oil.

Since all of us are in need of healing—spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical, I want to invite you all to this healing service. You may of course bring others with you. And begin to pray now to receive a great gift of healing.

St. Martin of Tours, Patron of the Holy Face of Jesus, Pray for Us!
