RESOURCES FOR THE VISIT OF THE RELICS OF
SAINTS LOUIS AND ZELIE MARTIN  AND SAINT THERESE
TO IRELAND  FOR THE WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES IN 2018

 

"The World of St. Therese and Her Family," A Photo Gallery

In honor of the visit of the relics of Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin and their daughter, St. Therese of Lisieux, to Ireland for the World Meeting of Families in 2018 I have created a unique photo gallery.  With more than 350 period and contemporary photos, some never published before, it invites you to accompany Louis and Zelie from birth through the concrete reality of the human life in which they became holy, the  life of their daughter Therese, and their rise to sainthood.  Use the side arrows to advance a your own pace, or present to a group by projecting from the Web.  I hope that many people will enter the world of the Martin family before or after praying in the presence of the relics and that persons all over the world will join them in coming to know and love this holy family.
