Emphasizing wellness, Saint Therese Center reaches out to those touched by HIV/AIDS to provide spiritual, physical and emotional support, educational and socail services in the spirit of love and compassion.
SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX
St. Therese of Lisieux, a Carmelite nun, died at 24 years of age from complications of tuberculosis, was unknown, beyond the immediate circle of her family and sisters in religion.
The Little Flower, as she is often called, Saint Therese of Lisieux became a saint not by performing great miracles but by doing little things with great love - putting up with frustrating companions, obeying superiors, and finishing the laundry. So ordinary did she appear that several of the sisters in the convent were unaware of her remarkable prayer life until after her death.
St. Therese is a model of those who live in obscurity, their great worth known only to God.
