A press release from the bishops’ conference announced today that «excitement is growing» faced to the upcoming tour of the relics through the country, which will take place from Sep. 16 to Oct. 16.
Several activities will surround the tour, including films about St. Thérèse’s life, talks about her mission and activities for children.
The Catholic Agency to Support Evangelization has produced videos to «promote the evangelistic potential of the tour.»
The event organizer, Monsignor Keith Barltrop, said: «The heart of St. Thérèse’s message is, in her own words, that God ‘burns with the desire to come into your heart.’
«The aim of all the preparation that is going on up and down the country is that the visit of her relics, which one Irish bishop described graphically as ‘the remains of a burnt-out love for God,’ will help open our hearts to that love.»
