Venue Information

Chapel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Saint Anthony Chapel is a Catholic chapel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania within the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Saint Anthony Chapel is home to the largest collection of publicly venerable Christian relics – 5,000 in total – in the world outside of the Vatican. The chapel and its relics were the personal property of Suitbert Goedfried Mollinger (1828-1892), a Belgian-born royal/physician-turned-priest who gained an international reputation as a source of hope and healing. While practicing medicine in his twenties, Mollinger discerned a vocational calling to the priesthood. As a seminarian, he left Europe to serve as a missionary in the United States, where he would later be ordained and eventually settle in what is today known as the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
