A Visit to the Seelos Center

Christ the King

I dropped by the Seelos Center this afternoon, for a visit.

The windows there are very beautiful.

(I think this is actually the back of the small window near the Reliquary which hold the remains of Blessed Seelos.)

There’s an great room filled with memorabilia, but which also has these beautiful reliquaries. Here is one of the True Cross.

St. Faustina…

Rosary

The 150 Decade Rosary Fr. Seelos used to wear and to pray…

Have  a Seat and Set a Spell

And why, here he is himself!

I had always thought he was very small in stature, though today they were telling me that he was actually 6 feet tall. (Must be the German blood!)

Blessed Seelos, pray for us.

  1. Thank you for sharing your visit with us Father.Like your comment about “here he is himself”.
    Living in the town where he was born and attending the Basilica where he was baptised the same day,I have a great love for Blessed Seelos and was delighted to see the wonderful photos and comments you made about your visit to the National Shrine of Blessed Seelos in the USA.

    • Myke, thanks for the note. I was a seminarian when his remains were transported back here from a Mass at the Cathedral, and was one of the men who helped carry the beautiful reliquary. It was a great experience.
