Tour of French saint leaves church-goers with 'goosebumps'

Lynette Evans is the secretary of St Brigid's catholic church in Nerang and attended Allambe Memorial Park on the Gold Coast to view the touring relics."It's hard to explain — I get goosebumps just thinking about them.

"It's such a wonderful thing. She is travelling the world, this time with her parents, and we get to pay homage to such a wonderful young woman." Gabrielle Parada from Nerang said being in the presence of the relics with her three children made her emotional."Especially in this day and era, the faith is lacking, and we definitely need to continue the faith.

"We need to teach [faith to] our children and I try and embed that in my children as much as possible."Queensland general manager for InvoCare's cemeteries and crematoria, Andrew Dreghorn, said it was a great honour to host the exhibits, but planning had been a significant logistical exercise for the four-month national tour.

Too right.. If a Saint of any nationality toured round anywhere I think most people would get more than 'goosebumps' abcnews auspol
