During our visit to the Basilica Sacre Coeur recently we were able to explore the lower level and noticed four reliquaries containing rib bones and some other remains in the four corners of the chapel directly under the sanctuary. Does anyone know whose remains these are?

Twenty seconds on Google:

St. Catherine Laboure, and St. Vincent de Paul.

Thanks!

I tried Google and other search engines with no results long before I thought of asking on this forum. You must have better search methods. There are still two unaccounted for...

The body of St Catherine Laboure
The heart of St Vincent dePaul and
St. Louise de Marillac.. I can't find any other info on a 4th.

I thought the body of St. Catherine Laboure was in the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal?? I thought be she and St. Louise were in glass coffins on either side of the altar of the chapel.

I am not sure what relics are in Sacre Coeur but now I am intrigued enough to research that!

Did a bit more research, from what I have read, the incorrupt body of St. Catherine is in a glass box to the right of the altar at the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal on rue du Bac. Also here is a model of St. Louise in a glass box to the left of the altar; also in here are some of her relics. The heart of St. Vincent de Paul is in a statue that is at an altar to the right of St. Catherine.

Still having no luck with the relics at Sacre Coeur, though.

I just reread my notes from an old trip journal where I hve noted that there was 2 Cardinaux (Guibert and Richard) in the crypt. I also remembered some differents chapels. Really not a hightlight in anyway...
