The following letter and inventory of relics preserved in the relic chapel at St. Mary's College, Kansas were presented to me by that institution. I have taken the liberty of converting the file to hypertext, and I have added my own comments in parenthesis. The catalogue was, however, entirely prepared by the College, and I thank the Office of the President for sending it to me. Also, thanks to Ed Schwartz for his help in converting this document from it's original WordPerfect format. MAB
