The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, the Magnificat Foundation, and the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Philadelphia released today a schedule for the ten days of events planned this month to celebrate the Magnificat Foundation's gift of a new reliquary containing relics of St. Therese and of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and to give as many people as possible an opportunity to pray in the presence of this reliquary, the first reliquary of a family.
