More than 1,000 people saw the relic early Tuesday at a church in Collinsville.

It's all part of the church's Mercy Tour through the United States.

Father Carlos Martins with Pilgrimage of Mercy said, "We are delighted to be here, we're most happy to be in Oklahoma. The outpouring of faith here has been outstanding."

Saint Maria will be at Holy Family until 7:00 Wednesday morning. Then, she will be moved to Bishop Kelley High School, followed by Saints Peter and Paul Parish, before she returns to Italy.
