“ST. ANTHONY’S CHAPEL, set in a small neighborhood overlooking #Pittsburgh, PA, houses the largest collection of religious relics in the world outside the Vatican.

Father Mollinger, an immigrant from Belgium, left the world of medicine to serve his faith. When he learned of mass amounts of relics without homes in Europe, he personally collected them with his own funds. When there were too many in his home to continue living alongside them, he built the chapel and housed the relics there.”
