Class Saint

Saint Therese of Lisieux has many names such as the little flower, the saint of the little way, and the greatest saint of modern times.  Her message of simplicity and childlike trust in God, our merciful father is timeless and lives on in many hearts as a spirit of courage and hope.  In 1927, Pope Pius XI declared her the universal co-patron of the missions with St. Francis Xavier.  Her love for the missions and her power of intercession were so strong that she was a missionary in spirit even though she never physically left the monastery in Lisieux.  In 1994, Pope St. John Paul II named her co-patroness of France with St. Joan of Arc.

 Saint Therese is also the patroness of florists.  She loved flowers and mentioned them often.  “When I die, I will send forth a shower of roses from the heavens.”  Throughout the years, she has proven faithful to her promise of intercession and will never forget those she loves.
