Historic relics coming to Chalfont St Peter

The relics of the saint, who died in 1897, have been taken on a tour of several Catholic sites across the UK, and have attracted huge crowds of up to 20,000 when displayed in Liverpool and Manchester earlier this month.
People have flocked to the display to pray and to kiss the glass container in which the relics are displayed.
Elaine Quigley, who has been part of the group organising the visit of the relics to Chalfont St Peter, said: "This is amazing for the village. The relics are being take around the world for people to view and thousands of people have flocked to see them. It is a real coup that they are going to be in Chalfont St Peter for people to experience them."
St Therese was born in France in 1873 and died at the age of 24, having served in a Carmelite convent as a nun during her short life.
She wrote the text Story of a Soul, expressing her love of God, which became hugely influential in the years following her death and led to her being made a saint by the Pope in 1925.
Her remains are being taken around the world, and have so far appeared in Cardiff, Birmingham and Portsmouth since arriving in the country two weeks ago.
The bones are set to come to St Joseph's as priests at the church are part of the Carmelite order which St Therese was part of.
Mrs Quigley added: "Seeing the relics is a pilgrimage for many people and we are expecting big crowds at the church when they are here. We are taking special measures to make sure that we can fit everyone in."
The relics will be at the church on October 8 and 9.
