St. Thérèse Circle
The St. Thérèse Circle, named for St. Thérèse of Lisieux, strives to teach members more about the Saint’s “Little Way” of spirituality and encourages embracing her as their spiritual sister. The members of the Circle emulate St. Thérèse’s dedication to small acts of kindness done with great love. They reach out to the local community in various ways, such as distributing handmade greeting cards to the unfortunate, praying special intentions for the needy, and identifying additional ways to help others yearly. “May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.”
