See a photo album of the veneration of the writing-desk of St. Therese of Lisieux at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, September 14, 2013.  I thank Betty Lamantea, Sandy Dawes, Lonnie Small, and Scooty Kellogg, members of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites, for the photographs.

Because the tour of the writing-desk of St. Therese sponsored by the Pontifical Mission Societies of the United States is still developing its schedule and is outgrowing the capacity of blog entries alone to keep up with it, I have created a permanent section of the site where I will add details about each future stop as it's announced and will post photos and stories about each stop that happens as they become available.  Read the "writing desk of St. Therese tour page" with stories about Las Vegas, San Diego, and Seattle, and the names and dates of the other announced cities.

The writing-desk of St. Therese of Lisieux will be oresent at the 8th Annual Orange County Catholic Prayer Breakfast on the morning of Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at the Future Christ Cathedral, 12141 Lewis Street, Garden Grove, CA  92840.  More than a thousand guests are expected at the breakfast.

After that, the writing-desk will be exposed for public veneration at the Future Christ Cathedral that same day, Wednesday, September 18, from 12 noon through 10 p.m. that night, and again from 6:00 a.m. through 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 18.  Before making plans to come and pray in the presence of the writing-desk, please be sure to consult this detailed brochure with hours, events, liturgies, and places.
