Our Patron Saint: St. Thérèse of Lisieux 

Our school is inspired by our patron: St. Thérèse of Lisieux She had a simple yet powerful message that still resonates in the hearts of millions today.

She died at the age of 24, believing that her life was really just beginning for God, promising to spend her heaven doing good on earth.

St. Therese had a simple yet powerful message that still resonates in the hearts of millions today. Her letters, autobiography, and other recollections of her life help us understand her “Little Way” and use it in our daily lives.

Therese saw herself as a child of God. She liked to keep things simple and focused as a child does. Trust, especially trust in God, is a childlike virtue. Therese’s spirituality is simple and she calls it her “little way.” She believed and taught us that life presents enough challenges and opportunities for grace. She teaches us that God is everywhere – in every situation and person – and in the ordinary, simple details of life.

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Therese, the Little Flower, on October 1st each year. This date was chosen because Therese died on September 30th. Following the ancient custom of celebrating their entrance into heaven the next day, October 1st was chosen as the day to celebrate Therese’s life and eternity.

St. Therese, Flower of fervour and love, please intercede for us.

Fill our hearts with your pure love of God.

As we approach and celebrate your feast day,

make us more aware of the goodness of

God and how well He tends His garden.

Instil in us your little way of doing

ordinary things with extraordinary love.
