In October 2009 there was a historical event when the Relic of St Therese the Little Flower were taken to various destinations in the South East of England. We marked the occasion in  the St Francis of Assisi Catholic Ramblers Club by having some walks to different destinations visited by the relic. The walks were not very well attended, perhaps because most of them were on weekdays, but I found them a very moving and devotional experience.

Below are links to pages containing pgotographs taken on each of the walks as follows:

A walk to the Oxford Oratory led by Maureen Cahalane on Wednesday 7 October 2009
