Shrine of Saint Peter Julian Eymard
From the Saint Jean Baptiste website, number 13-16:
"The altar to the right of Saint Joseph’s Altar contains the shrine of Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868), the founder of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Under the statue of Saint Peter Julian where the tabernacle is usually located, a specially designed receptacle encloses a reliquary containing the right arm humerus bone of the saint. The relic was brought from Paris to Saint Jean Baptiste by the Very Reverend Vincenzo Di Lorenzo, Consultor General of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation."
