Spreading Devotion to St. Therese of Lisieux
The mission of the Society of the Little Flower is to fulfill St. Therese’s mission to “make God known and loved to the ends of the earth” in the most concrete ways of charity and justice. We promote devotion to St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the Carmelite Nun and Doctor of the Church. Through prayers and donations, friends of St. Therese enable Carmelites throughout the world to make a difference in people’s lives through Gospel ministries and the education of seminarians.
“When charity is deeply rooted in the soul it shows itself on the outside.” — St. Therese of Lisieux
