Relic offers peace to faithful
JUPITER | A first-class relic of St. John Paul II was installed during the Saturday vigil Mass Dec. 6 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Jupiter after it was carried several thousand miles from Poland by the leader of an order of women religious who serve in the Diocese of Palm Beach.
Father Don Finney, St. Peter’s pastor, thanked the Sisters of the Most Holy Soul of Christ for their help in transporting the relic. Mother Weronika Bednarska, mother general of the community based in Poland, carried the relic with her while traveling to visit her sisters in the United States. Two of her community members, Sisters Martina Bednarz and Anita Gabarczyk, work as teaching assistants at St. Joseph School in Stuart, and another, Sister Jadwiga Drapala, serves in the diocesan Office of Vocations and as episcopal delegate for religious.
