Portsmouth Cathedral yesterday became the first English venue to host the relics of St Thérèse, with a 24-hour visit which began at 9:30 yesterday morning. Here the relics are seen arriving at the Cathedral. Early reports suggest that it was a wonderful event, with great crowds (some BBC reports suggest 15,000 people) visiting the relics during their time in the city.
This morning the relics left Portsmouth and made their way to Plymouth, where they arrived at 4pm for an overnight visit. Here in Lancaster we are keeping a close watch on what happens at the early venues on the tour, hoping to pick up a few tips and iron out any creases in our plans before the relics reach us in just 11 days' time. The phone here is red hot with enquiries, and Thérèse-related hits on the website have risen sharply in the last few days. All the signs are that interest is very high. Please pray that the visit will bring many graces to us all.
