Ars - Sorbonne (Paris) and Lisieux

Retreat at Ars - in the subterranean Church

Statue of the body of St Therese of Lisieux whose body rests underneath - in the pilgrim's Chapel of the Carmelite Monastery

The - obviously - more recent facade of the Sorbonne University in Parish where St Thomas Aquinas taught

The magnificent facade of Notre Dame - the Cathedral Church of Paris

Part of the original parish church of Ars remains visible from the outside

The present bishop of Ars, Bishop Baynard, built this magnificent diocesan seminary in the 1980s which has gradually expanded -

Morning Mass during the Retreat - the Celebrant is incensing the relics - I think of St Therese of Liseux and St Margaret Mary
