ROYAL OAK — For the first time in 25 years, the relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a Catholic saint known as “the Little Flower” and revered for the spirituality of “the Little Way,” will be visiting the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak, 2100 12 Mile Road. The relics will be at Shrine Oct. 1-8, beginning on her feast day. The days also coincide with Shrine’s 100-year anniversary as a parish, according to a press release sent out by Shrine. The reliquary containing some of her bones first came from France to the U.S. in 1999 and drew more than 1 million people in 25 states, according to the press release. According to the tour’s U.S. coordinator, the Rev. Donald Kinney, a Discalced Carmelite priest at the Carmelite House of Prayer in California, “It is a special blessing that the reliquary will be visiting the U.S. during the 100th year anniversary of her canonization and for the Jubilee year of the church,” the press release says.
