Saint Benedict Menni (†1914) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Order of the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God who he went on to establish a religious congregation of women known as the Sisters Hospitaller of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and based upon the one of which he was a member. He worked for the elderly, those who were abandoned and aided polio victims and those with mental health problems. He was beatified on 23 June 1985 by Pope John Paul II and canonized in 1999 after the recognition of two miracles attributed to his intercession. His order continues to flourish across the world in locations such as Spain and Italy. He is a patron saint of people with mental health issues, the sick, and volunteers. His Feast day is celebrated on April 24.
Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of St. Benedict Menni. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. Benedictis Menni, o h (Blessed Benedict Menni, Order of the Hospitallers). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Order of the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God. The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Postulator General of the Order on June 23, 1985 (the very day of his beatification).
