Silver reliquary theca with relics of St. Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission

Heart-shaped silver pendant reliquary that opens to a  glass-fronted theca housing a first-class carne (of the flesh) relic of Saint Vincent de Paul. The relic is affixed to a gold silk background and identified on a typeset cedula label as S. Vincent de Paul. The case is engraved with an image of three hearts and inscribed with a prayer in Latin "Sancta Trinitas Unus Deus Miserere Nobis (The Holy Trinity one God have mercy on us). On the back,  under a protective cap, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of an unidentified Roman Catholic Archbishop.

Saint Vincent de Paul († 1660) was a French Roman Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. After working for some time in Paris among imprisoned galley slaves, he returned to be the superior of what is now known as the Congregation of the Mission, or the "Vincentians" (in France known as "Lazaristes"). These priests, with vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability, were to devote themselves entirely to the people in smaller towns and villages. Vincent was zealous in conducting retreats for clergy at a time when there was great laxity, abuse, and ignorance among them. He was a pioneer in clerical training and was instrumental in establishing seminaries, and the founder of the Congregation of the Mission and Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. He is a Holy Patron of charities; horses; hospitals; leprosy; lost articles; Madagascar; prisoners; Richmond, Virginia; spiritual help; Saint Vincent de Paul Societies; Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory; Vincentian Service Corps; and volunteers.
