We are so excited to introduce you to our patron, Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face (more commonly known as St. Thérèse of Lisieux or The Little Flower)!
If you have already met St. Thérèse, we hope you will grow to know her more deeply through the collection of resources and reflections here.

In 2020 we prayed a novena to St. Therese, beginning on her feast day, October 1st, and for the eight days following.
Check out the video novena and reflections from parishioners and staff on our YouTube channel!
