On Sunday, January 5, 2014, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Carmelite Monastery in Philadelphia will receive pilgrims who want to pray in the presence of the reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux and her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin. At 1:00 p.m. Maureen O'Riordan will present a conference on "The challenge of Christian motherhood: Blessed Zelie Martin and the spiritual formation of children." The conference will be of special interest to mothers, but will appeal to anyone who wants to get to know Blessed Zelie Martin. Come for part or all of the day. Attend the conference, browse in the bookstore (open 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.), pray in the presence of the reliquary, and conclude the day by participating in Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at 3:30 p.m. Consecrate your new year to God through the intercession of the Martin family.
