11 MARCH 2018 -- ST. LOUIS -- Reliquaries with relics of St. Peter Claver, belonging to descendants of German immigrant Ignatius Strecker, rest on a table during lunch at a reunion after Mass in the Rectory at Shrine of St. Joseph Sunday, March 11, 2018 in the Columbus Square neighborhood of St. Louis. The group gathered to remember the healing of the Strecker, thought mortally ill, during an 1864 service honoring Jesuit priest Peter Claver, a missionary who worked among slaves in South America during the 17th century. Strecker's healing was among the miracles attributed to Claver that led to his 1888 canonization by Pope Leo XIII. Photo © copyright 2018 Sid Hastings.
