St Thérèse in Westminster
In this video, Archbishop Vincent Nichols introduces a film about St Thérèse that will be shown to pilgrims at Westminster Cathedral on a giant screen.
The national tour of the relics of St Therese concludes in the Diocese of Westminster on 16 October 2009.
Military precision for visit of Catholic saint’s relics
‘You need to be fit, strong and determined to become a Royal Marines Commando’, according to the Royal Navy careers office. Not surprising then that the Church has appointed a former Green Beret Major as its Logistics Manager for the visit of the relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux to England and Wales.
Major David Baldwin, who’s also a consultant to the nuclear industry, is tasked with the challenging role and aims to provide the safe pair of hands you need to manage the logistics of this historic one-month tour:
“One of my jobs [in the Marines] was the logistic planner responsible for taking the Commando Brigade out to Norway in the winter – 5,000 men with associated equipment,” said Major Baldwin. “I hope that my brain can get around the logistics of taking St. Thérèse’s reliquary around many destinations in this country in a reasonably short space of time.”
