Relics of St Therese attract huge crowds

Obtaining the relics, which include the bones of the saint, was a coup for the church and the village, after they had been shown in a number of the country's biggest cities, including Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, attracting crowds of up to 20,000 at times.
The Bishop of Northampton was also at the church to deliver a service about St Therese and her importance to the Catholic church.
Kate Lovelace, one of the organisers of the event, said: "It was a wonderful event. We had more than 2,000 visitors over the course of the two days, and had great support from volunteers and the police, who helped oversee the parking.
"The aim of the visit was to make the church a place of pilgrimage for the day and to spread St Therese's message, and I believe we did that."
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 after visiting Chalfont St Peter were taken to Westminster Cathedral.
St Joseph's managed to acquire the relics because the priest that run it are from the Carmelite order - the same order that St Therese was part of.
