On November 22, 2025 the reception of the relics of the Eight Blessed Martyrs at St. Patrick Church, Mae Chaem—a mountain village under the pastoral care of the Redemptorist missionaries—was a grace-filled moment for the faithful of Mae Chaem District in this Holy Year. The celebration brought the entire community together in prayer and devotion, including the sick and elderly who could not travel to the church.
A solemn procession welcomed the relics at the village entrance, accompanied by blessings, hymns, and the Rosary. Along the way, the procession visited and blessed the sick in nearby villages, offering them comfort, hope, and a tangible sense of God’s closeness.
Faithful from surrounding communities gathered with deep reverence to venerate the relics.
This celebration became a moment of spiritual renewal, strengthening the faith handed down through generations and inspiring the mountain Christian communities to continue living their vocation with renewed commitment.
