About Our Apostolate

​

Welcome to DNJC.org, an international apostolate dedicated to evangelization, spreading the Good News of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and glorifying God. Our mission is to encourage devotion to the saints and foster their pious veneration by making beautiful devotional items and authentic third-class relics available to the faithful throughout the world.

​

We are blessed to have more than 600 sacred first and second class relics associated with Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the saints entrusted to our care. Through these sacred treasures, we produce and distribute devotional prayer cards, oils, and other religious articles that are touched to the corresponding relics, creating third-class relics for personal prayer and devotion.

​

We believe that sacred relics should always be treated with the utmost reverence and respect. As custodians of these holy objects, we recognize our responsibility to preserve their dignity and ensure that the apostolate operates in accordance with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church.

Our Commitment to Integrity

 

The Catholic Church expressly forbids the sale of sacred relics under Canon 1190 of the Code of Canon Law. This prohibition is reaffirmed in the Vatican's 2017 Instruction, Relics in the Church: Authenticity and Preservation.  Mindful also of the Church's condemnation of simony (the buying or selling of spiritual things) we have established the following principles to guide our apostolate:

​

• Sacred Relics Are Never Sold: We do not sell or trade first or second class relics, nor do we fulfill private requests for them. The sacred relics in our care are preserved soley for the purpose of fostering devotion and producing third-class devotional items.

• No Monetary Value Is Placed on the Relic Nature: We assign absolutely no financial value to the act of touching devotional items to the sacred relics. In fact, we produce and offer both relic and non-relic versions of our devotional items, such as prayer cards and oils, with the relic versions always priced at the same or lower cost than their non-relic counterparts. This is a deliberate policy intended to demonstrate that no premium whatsoever is charged for contact with a sacred relic. Any charges are solely for the physical materials, preparation, and delivery of the items, never for the relic nature or its spiritual significance.

• Relic Prayer Cards Are Available Free of Charge: We believe that access to third-class relics should never depend upon one's ability to pay. For this reason, we make individual third class relic prayer cards available for free to the faithful, subject to our published request guidelines.  Domestic requests may be fulfilled by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to our P.O. Box, while international requests may be submitted through our online contact form.

Our Mission Is Faith, Not Profit

​

Our apostolate exists to serve Our Lord and His Church in love. We strive to make these devotional treasures accessible while maintaining the highest standards of reverence, integrity, and fidelity to Catholic teaching.

​

Above all, we recognize that relics possess no power independent of God. Every grace and blessing comes from God alone.  It is our hope that these humble devotional items, which are tangible reminders of the holiness of His saints, will inspire greater faith, encourage prayer, and strengthen devotion to Our Lord through the communion of saints.

​

Thank you for supporting our apostolate and joining us in honoring the saints and glorifying God.
