The Visit of the Relics of St. Thérèse to Loretto


 

 

 

 

 

 

very unique grace for us took place on November 1, 1999, when the Relics of St. Thérèse were travelling the U. S. On that date, St. Thérèse, in her Reliquary, came to our Carmel and thousands of persons came to pray before her and beg for her intercession with the Most High God.

The Faithful Waiting to Pray

 

The closing Mass became a Diocesan event with countless Priests concelebrating Mass with our Bishop, at that time, Joseph V. Adamec. Many Priests were also available to hear Confessions and so many souls took advantage of this opportunity to return to the Faith that St. Thérèse must have been smiling indeed.

It was a day never to be forgotten and remains a treasure for all those who were blessed to take part in the celebration.
