Celebrate 100 Years of Faith with St. Thérèse Parish on a Pilgrimage to France
Join me on a pilgrimage through Normandy and Paris as St. Thérèse Parish celebrates 100 years of faith, honoring our patroness in the land she called home. Our journey brings us to Lisieux for a day devoted to
St. Thérèse and the Martin family, where we’ll celebrate Mass and pray at the Basilica of St. Thérèse, her Carmelite convent, and her childhood home. Together, we’ll also ascend the great island abbey of Mont SaintMichel and stand in quiet reverence above Omaha Beach at the Normandy American Cemetery. In Paris, kneel before the tomb of St. Catherine Labouré, marvel at the stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle and the restored beauty of Notre-Dame, and pray before the Blessed Sacrament at Sacré-Cœur. As we mark this milestone in our parish’s history, may we entrust our families and our community to the loving care of St. Thérèse and the Blessed Mother. I hope you will prayerfully consider joining us for this unforgettable journey of faith.
– Fr. Kevin Fox, Spiritual Director
