St. Joseph Marello Catholic Church is dedicated by Bishop Jaime Soto. Sealed into our altar are relics of:

• Pope St. Pius X, a man of God who knew the unhappiness of the world and the hardships of life, and in the greatness of his heart wanted to comfort everyone.
• St. Maria Goretti, who was attacked and stabbed fourteen times; before she died, she forgave her attacker and asked God to forgive him, too.
• St. Gemma Galgani, a 20th century mystic from Italy, a girl who always said yes to God. She is known for saying, "I wish, oh Jesus, that my voice could reach to the ends of the world, to call all sinners and tell them to enter into Thy Heart."
• St. Joseph Marello, our patron saint, the apostle of youth and those who are poor. He told his congregation to "do ordinary things in extraordinary ways."
