The Martins of Lisieux Chapel: Sts. Therese, Louis and Zelie Dedicated in Honor of Dame Norma Liu

The Martins of Lisieux Chapel: Sts. Therese, Louis and Zelie Dedicated in Honor of Dame Norma Liu

LH Foundation, Inc. (LHFI) extended its full support to the chapel renovation project of the San Carlos Seminary College.

In a symbolic unveiling ceremony followed by a Thanksgiving Mass presided by His Excellency Bishop Midyphil Billones on December 31, 2022, the Chapel is dedicated in honor of the living faith of LH Foundation Founder, Papal Awardee Dame Norma Liu, whose own calling as a loving wife and mother manifests her wholehearted commitment to the faith and her dedication, love, and service for the Catholic Church.

The newly renovated chapel is a timely endeavor to mark the 50th Anniversary (1971-2021) of the establishment of San Carlos Seminary College.  It is now called The Martins of Lisieux Chapel, dedicated to a family of Saints: St. Therese of the Child Jesus, who devoted her tender life to pray for priests in her chosen vocation of love as a Carmelite sister; and her parents, Sts. Louis and Zelie, whose lives show us that if we live with love, we grow in holiness. The Chapel will soon house the relics of Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin.

Present at the unveiling were the second and third generations of the LH Family headed by LH Foundation, Inc. Chairman Mr. Bernido H. Liu, together with LHFI Board of Trustees Mr. Alfredo H. Go, Mr. Charlie H. Liu, Mrs. Doris L. Ong, and Mr. Edmun H. Liu, with their spouses and children.

Papal Chaplain to His Holiness, Msgr. Jan Thomas Limchua and San Carlos Seminary College Rector and Formator, Msgr. Joseph Tan concelebrated the Thanksgiving and Dedication Mass.

The Martins of Lisieux Chapel: Sts. Therese, Louis and Zelie is located within the San Carlos Seminary College, along Pope John Paul II Avenue, Mabolo, Cebu City.
