Great question, Todd. As if it’s not bad enough that the poor kid was killed by the Romans for being a 7-year-old Christian, but then ends up on display in a fake catacombs several thousand miles away in the basement of a Catholic monastery in Washington, DC. The story of the travels of the mummified remains of St. Innocent can be found in this article. Scroll down to the fifth paragraph for the part about St. Innocent.
