We have just received this interesting news from the centre of our Order.
2023 and 2025 mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face and the centenary of her canonization, two important anniversaries for our Order. These events give us the opportunity for a very special confrontation with the contemporary world. UNESCO, in fact, has accepted the request of the French government to include St. Thérèse’s name among the personalities who have made a significant contribution to the development of humanity, and whose birth anniversary UNESCO will celebrate worldwide
St Therese, pray for us.
