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.

Once again Saint Therese Center will participate in the AIDS support ornament
program featuring this years ornament Light Everlasting. The latest in a series of
collectible ornaments, Light Everlasting, ornament is a brilliantly glowing candle
within a lantern, a light to dispel darkness, representing an enduring symbol of
wisdom, hope and inspiration.

The ornament, suspended from a red ribbon, will come in a presentation box with a
gold foil design showing the ornament of the cover. Each presentation box
contains a velour interior and a beautifully printed insert card that speaks in general
terms about the symbolism of the ornament design and the mission of the AIDS
support Program, the Saint Therese Center.

Proceeds from the sale of these ornaments support the programs at Saint Therese
Center committed to serving men, women and children of all faiths and extending
the Lord's healing to all persons infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.
