From Lisieux, France to the Philippines, the Relics of St. Therese of the Child Jesus will come to the Philippines for the second time–from 15 January to 13 March 2008. The Relics first visited the Philippines in the Great Jubilee Year of 2000.
Arrival of the Relics will be at 2:15 pm on Tuesday, 15 January, followed by a Procession and Pontifical Mass at 5 pm at the St. Therese National Shrine, with address at Manlunas Street, Villamor Air Base, Pasay City

Visit the website of St Therese Shrine, and find out the detailed schedules and activities (I just hope it is updated, as the Schedule announced in the newspapers is slightly different. I will have to check on this, and give an update.)
This is a very rare opportunity. I know that St. Therese has a lot of followers here in the Philippines. There is one Prayer taking the rounds, which goes, May today there be peace within. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received…It has not been confirmed though if St. Therese of the Child Jesus indeed wrote it.
Read more about the Shrine here, an article that I posted in February 2007.

Thanks for the link to the relics’ website. I saw it in 2000. I’d like to go back and view them again.
