Édito de Mgr Denis Moutel – Octobre 2026

Bishop Denis Moutel will preside over the installation of a six-ton granite statue of Saint Thérèse at the Valley of the Saints on Saturday, October 31. The ceremony includes the Eucharist and the blessing of the statue.

The Bishop of Saint-Brieuc and Tréguier will lead the liturgy alongside the rector of the Lisieux sanctuary. The statue is currently displayed at the base of the Lisieux basilica and will remain there until October 27. Moutel noted that the heavy granite symbolizes the spiritual stature of Saint Thérèse.
