March 17, 2000 was the first ever visit of the relic of St. Therese to the Philippines. In our community at that time, it was considered a rare moment and nobody thought that the relic would come back again. Hence the visit was given a very good accommodation and reception where all walks of life were given time to pray before her relic. (St. Therese is also the patron saint of soldiers.)
