Adelaide Archdiocese
(Adelaide & Colonel Light Gardens)

St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral and St Therese’s church at Colonel Light Gardens will remain open around the clock when St Thérèse of Lisieux’s relics arrive in Adelaide.

Organisers say there will be continual devotions, Masses and quiet prayer time over a 24-hour period at the churches during the Adelaide section of the national tour.

School children and parishioners are expected to line Sir Donald Bradman Drive as the St Thérèse cortege, accompanied by police escort, makes its way from the airport to Colonel Light Gardens parish.

The relics are contained in an ornate jacaranda wood and silver reliquary transported in a Holden Zafira people mover.

Schools are being encouraged to send students to the 10.30 am Mass at the Cathedral on Thursday, February 14.

Masses will be in English with involvement from ethnic communities. Confession will be offered at specific times and a priest will be on duty for pastoral care throughout the pilgrimage.

Security will be tight during the tour and people are not allowed to touch the relics
