Visiting Relics of St. Thérèse

Our Carmel is happy to announce the Relics of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face will be coming to us this November 8th! We will be a part of the 2025 Centenary Reliquary Tour of the United States. Our Carmelite Friars of the Oklahoma semi-province will bring the Reliquary from San Antonio, TX to our Carmelite Nuns in Lafayette, LA and from there she will come to Little Rock.

Here is the schedule for the USA:

Her relics visit the United States October 1 – December 8, 2025, the 100th anniversary of her Canonization and the Jubilee Year:

Royal Oak, Michigan (October 1-8, 2025)

Ten dioceses in California (October 10-30)

San Antonio, TX; several Carmels in the South (October 31-November 14)

Holy Hill, Wisconsin (November 15-18)

Washington, DC and environs (November 19-30)

Miami, Florida (December 1-8)

To accommodate as many people as possible we will have her veneration at a local parish church in Little Rock, Christ the King Church, which is one of the largest in the area. There will be two Masses there that day in her honor at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., with open veneration in between time.

The nuns are excited and we hope you will be able to visit the relics if you are in the area, or in any of the other locations listed above!
