1987 Documented reliquary theca with relic of Bl. Pauline von Mallinckrodt,  founder of the Sisters of Christian Charity

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. Paulinae Mallinkrodt (Blessed Pauline [von] Mallinckrodt). On the back, under the 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 Friars Minor (commonly known as the Franciscans). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and signed in 1987 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the cause of beatification and canonization. 

Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt, SCC (†1881) was a German noblewoman, Roman Catholic professed religious and the foundress of the Sisters of Christian Charity. Born into an aristocratic Mallinckrodt family as the daughter of a Lutheran father and Catholic mother, from her adolescence she began to tend to the blind and sick. This venture expanded into what became a religious congregation which spread at a rapid pace; she herself traveled to a range of places to oversee its growth and development. She was beatified on 14 April 1985 and her Feast Day is commemorated on 30 April.
