St Thérèse for Schools

When the relics of St Thérèse visit Lancaster Cathedral at the end of September a special programme will be laid on for visiting school groups. Resources are also being supplied to all the schools of the Lancaster Diocese in the run-up to the event; in this way it is hoped that all the schools of the Diocese, whether or not they are able to arrange a visit, will take part. We had hoped to supply resources to schools by the end of May, and a pack is in the final stages of preparation, but we now expect that information will reach schools early in June. In the pack schools will find resources for assemblies, for telling the story of St Thérèse and her message, items for display and ideas for how to mark the visit in schools. There will also be full details of an exciting programme for schools in which they can visit the relics and take part in workshops on the Cathedral site on Tuesday 29th September. We will post more details of the plans on this site when the information has gone out to schools. Watch this space!
