Step inside the world of St. Therese!

Follow in the steps of St. Therese as she journeys from beloved daughter of Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin to becoming a Carmelite Nun at the Carmelite Monastery in Lisieux, France. Come learn about her life, honor her, to pray, and feel her presence here at the National Shrine and Museum of St. Therese.

The Museum is a rich treasury of relics and memorabilia of St. Therese, which holds the largest collection of her relic artifacts outside of Lisieux, France.
