Have never heard of her being a patron saint of parental loss, although you could argue her parents lost her to the Church<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />. She is one of the patron saints of missionaries, and an example of pious living.</p><p>The trombone clasp (silver?) is seen on brooches from the late 19th-early 20th century. Because she is depicted as a saint, I would say the latter, she was canonized in 1925.</p><p>It is probably a souvenir from Lisieux in Normandy, France. Places of pilgrimage usually have a thriving tourist industry. Thérèse of Lisieux was extremely popular before WWII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
