Relics of popes available for veneration at Valley of Our Lady Monastery

The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter’s successor, “is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 882; quotation from LG 23)
