GETTING TO KNOW ST. THERESE OF LISIEUX AT CARMEL

The Carmelite sisters of Bacolod sponsored a campaign to better acquaint more people with St. Therese of Lisieux, familiarly known as St. Therese of the Child Jesus. The first and second year high school female students, accompanied by Ms. Melit, Principal, attended the educational program on Feb. 29.

After a warm welcome from Mrs. Norma Tagle of the St. Benilde School, there was a one-hour documentary presentation followed by an open forum. When the program was over, the students still had enough time to walk around the grounds and buy souvenirs.

“St. Therese has inspired us to love God through our fellowmen, especially the less privileged,” said Ms. Melit after the visit to the Carmelite Monastery.
