About the Ministry

Chasing Saints is a Catholic prayer and relic ministry. Its focus is simple: bringing intentions to prayer, sharing the lives of the saints, and helping visitors understand how veneration of relics points to Jesus Christ.

How your intention is remembered

Prayer requests are received privately and may be printed for the relic table. The ministry brings intentions to Eucharistic Adoration weekly. A retired Catholic priest also remembers these intentions in his daily prayers, Masses, and the Liturgy of the Hours. Your name and email are optional, and intentions are not published publicly without permission.

The saint directory and the relic collection

The directory includes saints, blesseds, venerables, and other witnesses of faith. Individual members of a group of martyrs may have their own profiles. A directory entry is not itself a claim that the ministry possesses a relic of that individual. Identification of relics is reviewed separately against the collection records.

Sources and images

Profiles are reviewed using historical and Church sources, with source links included where available. Some identities and relic inscriptions remain under review. Traditional accounts are distinguished from documented history when the evidence permits. A devotional image is not necessarily a contemporary likeness. AI-generated symbolic artwork is labeled as such on the profile.

Christ at the center

Catholics worship God alone. We honor the saints as witnesses to His grace and ask for their intercession. Relics are not talismans or guarantees of a particular outcome.
