Dedication
Plaque :
Relic of St Charles Borromeo (1538 - 1584)
The Latin inscription on this relic indicates that it contains fragments from the internal organs and clothing of St Charles Borromeo.
It was given to the Marist Fathers in 1852 in gratitude for their hospitality by missionaries travelling to New Guinea from Milan, the diocese where St Charles Borromeo served as Cardinal - Archbishop from 1560 until his death in 1584.
In 2002, the Marist Fathers donated the relic to St Charles Borromeo Parish, Ryde, in recognition of its Sesquicentenary (1851 - 2001), and the Marist priests who were its first pastors.
