The First Visit of the Relic of St. Therese

March 17, 2000 was the first ever visit of the relic of St. Therese to the Philippines. In our community at that time, it was considered a rare moment and nobody thought that the relic would come back again. Hence the visit was given a very good accommodation and reception where all walks of life were given time to pray before her relic. (St. Therese is also the patron saint of soldiers.)
