Testimonials
“The Shroud exhibit was a tangible way of helping our parishioners deepen their Catholic faith. Further, it drew Christians of other denominations from Abbotsford and the surrounding areas which inspired positive discussion and camaraderie among all of us.”
Rev. James Hughes, St. Ann's Parish
Abbotsford, BC
“Spiritually, this exhibit changed a number of lives and, without a doubt, this event brought many spiritual and pastoral fruits and an increase towards even greater solidarity and unity among parishioners!”
Fr. Waldemar Podiasz, SDS
Nanaimo, BC
“The Man of the Shroud Exhibition drew hundreds of people who wished to learn more about this astonishing artifact and more about the crucifixion of Jesus. All who attended were reverent and attentive and not a few tears were noted. I would recommend any parish host an event like this as it is a very powerful way of proclaiming the death of the Lord until He comes.”
David Poirier, SA, Pastor
Richmond, BC
“I was very honored to speak to the elementary and high school students as well as to the many adults who came to, and enjoyed, your beautiful Shroud Exhibition. It is a most impressive display!”
John C. Iannone, U.S. Author, Shroud Scholar
“I have worked with the VSA since they first started and watched as their beautiful Shroud exhibit traveled to many venues across Canada and brought the Shroud to thousands of visitors. I look forward to every visit I make to Vancouver to lecture because I get to see many old friends and make many new ones. The VSA's exhibit is one of the finest and most comprehensive available and their consistency in displaying it every year is truly impressive.”
Barrie Schwortz, STERA
“I had the wonderful opportunity to present several lectures for the Vancouver Shroud Association during an exhibit in the Calgary area. The attendance was excellent. People would tour the exhibit both before and after a presentation. Each panel of the exhibit reveals something new about this wonderful mystery. The Shroud brings the Scripture to life. There is no greater visual tool to explore the ordeal of the Crucifixion or the wonder of the Resurrection.”
Russ Breault, President, Shroud of Turin Education Project, Inc.
“The VSA exhibition is the best one I saw in my Shroud travels: in it there is very good information that is very well presented. To visit this exhibition is a special and unforgettable experience. I hope that many cities will have this opportunity! I had the privilege of two invitations in Vancouver to give lectures and the presence of the exhibition was very helpful for people attending!”
Emanuela Marinelli, Collegamento pro Sindone

“The Man of the Shroud exhibits are a meaningful testament to the Christian Faith! The Shroud unmistakably depicted the image of a man which, proven by specialists, refutes challenges of fraudulent manipulation of coloring and photographic reproduction. This exhibit is informative and is valuable from an ecumenical and an evangelical point of view.”
Al Whyte, Past Grand Knight, Former District Deputy
Knights of Columbus
