Where can you obtain a relic of a saint?

A few years ago it was quite easy to obtain relics. All you had to do was to request one or more from the Vicariate of Rome and send a small donation to cover the cost of preparation and mailing. They were also available from some religious orders. However, it is virtually impossible today for a lay person to obtain relics from the above sources due to abuses. The relics were being sold on the Internet and some people, especially children, were "collecting" them as one would collect coins or sports cards and then bragging about their trophies on the Internet. Today about the only ones who can obtain a relic are priests or bishops and they must assure that the relics will be kept in a church and used for public veneration. You also have the option of ransoming or redeeming relics from the numerous sites on the Internet that sells relics in defiance of Canon Law.

How are Catholic saints bodies dismembered for dispersal as relics - in particular St. Therese of Lisieux?

The bodies of saints are no longer dismembered. In the past when a saint was disinterred for the recognition before beatification or canonization a small amount of tissue or bone would be removed, usually by a doctor, for use in preparing relics. Except for hair relics or second class relics, the only other relics I am aware of for St. Therese of Lisieux are ex cineribus relics - the dust left in the casket after the body has decayed. Today the disinterment and removal of tissue for relics is rarely practiced for modern saints who begin the canonization process soon after they die.
