The tour continues

The relics of St Thérèse have spent the day in Coleshill near Birmingham, where one of the main events has been a celebration for priests. St Thérèse had a great commitment to praying for priests, and this fact, along with the current 'Year for Priests', makes it especially appropriate that prayer for priests be a part of the tour of her relics. Meanwhile, here in Lancaster much progress has been made during the day, with the transformation of the Cathedral site now underway. The platform upon which the relics will stand has now been completed, and we have finalised the plans for a DVD of the visit to Lancaster, which will be available around the end of October. There is still much to do but things seem to be on track. Just a week to go! If you'd like to follow the tour of the relics in more detail, don't forget to visit the special blog which has been set up to cover the national tour. You can find it here.
