Relic of the True Cross

The "relic of the true cross" was brought from England by Fr. Andrew White, S.J. in 1634. He wore it around his neck in a silver and glass case, which was specially made for the relic.

The silver "saddle chalice", which can be taken apart and disguised as a bell, was used by the early Jesuit missionaries as they traveled the mission circuit.
