Saint Therese
Join Sr. Orianne, a religious sister from the Daughters of St. Paul, as we explore the life of one of the Church’s most beloved saints: St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Though she died at just 24, St. Thérèse’s life and writings have shaped the faith of countless souls. We’ll step into her childhood home to meet the little girl who would one day become a saint, follow her to Carmel as the “little way” takes root in her heart, and sit beside her at the end of her life as she records her Story of a Soul. Along the way, we’ll pray and reflect with the saint who offered everything out of love for God. Accompany the “Little Flower” on the journey that transformed her heart, her family, and the Church across the world.
