Six months to go!

Let the countdown begin! It is now exactly six months until the relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux are due to arrive at Lancaster Cathedral. It promises to be one of the greatest events that the Cathedral has hosted in its 150-year history, and is sure to be a time of great grace for the Church and for many individuals. Over the next six months this blog will follow the preparations for the event. We will give news and practical information about the visit. Here you will be able to download resources for prayer and catechesis, using the links in the right hand column. At the bottom of the page there are links showing preparatory events around the Diocese, and giving details of where coach parties are coming from. This blog will also mark anniversaries associated with Thérèse, so that all of us can learn a little more about her life and message over the coming months. It promises to be an exciting time.
