St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as St. Therese Little Flower of Child Jesus or just Little Flower, is the Patron Saint of our parish.
We celebrate her feast day on October 1st.
St. Therese is a saint of Modern Times. Her way was simple and easy to follow. Her way is the way of Love.
Therese was born in France, the last of nine children.
Her mother died when she was just 4 years old.
She was almost entirely brought up by her father and older sisters. 
She lived a simple life , hidden in prayer.
She died at the young age of 24.
Her last words were " My God, I Love you!"
Her Autobiography " Story of a Soul" is a Catholic Classic and gives us great insights.
Her teaching is very simple and yet profound. She told us to love God like a child loves their Father. She was canonized on May 17 1925 by Pope Pius XI.Pope John Paul II declared her as a Doctor of the Church in 1997.
