This is to rejoice with the friends of Therese on the 80th anniversary of the day (December 14, 2007) on which Pope Pius XI named her co-patroness of the missions, the equal of St. Francis Xavier.  To read the powerful letter written by Damaso Zuazua, OCD, general secretary of the Carmelite missions, please click here.
