The Shroud of Turin has long been venerated by the faithful and is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. The Shroud is one of the most scientifically studied religious icons in history. As science has progressed, so has the speculation on how the image of the crucified man of the Shroud was made.
After decades of exhaustive and medical, historical and scientific research, the Center for the Study of the Passion of the Christ and the Holy Shroud has developed a moving and informative mobile exhibit on the Shroud of Turin. The centerpiece is a full-length canvas replica of the Shroud made by the Shroud of Turin Education and Research Association, Inc. In addition, the mobile exhibit contains a large, crucified corpus showing the wounds of Christ corresponding to the passion narrative in the Gospel accounts and the wounds shown on the Shroud. The exhibit contains over 31 popup display banners detailing the history and science of the Shroud.
"One of the most perplexing enigmas of modern times.”
(National Geographic)
“A distinguished relic linked to the mystery of our redemption.”
(Saint John Paul II)
“An icon written with the blood of a whipped man, crowned with thorns, crucified and pierced on his right side.”
(Pope Benedict XVI)
This Vatican exhibition about The Eucharistic Miracles of the World was conceived and designed by St. Carlo Acutis.
Please join us as we present the photographic display. Panels are displayed in an art gallery style that allows for a tour of over 150 miracles from 22 countries.
The accounts of the miracles date from as early as the third century.

Catholic Worship Leader and Songwriter
Sarah Kroger is a Nashville-based, Catholic worship leader and songwriter who has released five albums: Your Time (2011), Hallelujah Is Our Song (2013), Bloom (2019), Light (2020), and her latest live album, The London Sessions (2023). She is part of the multi-cultural trio Village Lights as well as the female collective FAITHFUL, two enterprises that are a testament to her prolific creativity and talent.
With parents involved in worship ministry, Kroger’s love for music was sparked at a young age but the impact of bullying coupled with her struggle with anxiety and shyness hid her musical gift for years. Everything changed when she met Jesus in an intimate encounter through worship at a youth conference; “Worship became my language with God,” she explains. “It allowed me to communicate with the Lord in a way I hadn’t experienced before, there was something about it that opened my heart.” Realizing that music was a gift she desired to give back to the Lord, Kroger began exploring worship leading from then on.
Her courage grew along the way and opened an exciting journey of passionately leading worship for events around the world, drawing people from a variety of cultures and church backgrounds under the banner of Jesus for the past ten years. Kroger’s passion is to create a safe and prayerful space through her music in which people can encounter the heart of God in a profound way.
As a contemporary worship leader in the Catholic Church, Sarah Kroger gives a new language to people’s relationship with Jesus, inspiring her listeners to keep saying yes to vulnerability, intimacy, and honesty.
