About St. Thérèse

Known as the Millenium Saint, she taught us the “Little Way” and said that it was not nececssary to accomplish heroic acts or “great deeds”, in order to attain holiness.

The St. Therese Mission is a testament to the simple yet extraordinary life that she led and the great love and faith she inspired.
