St. Thérèse of Lisieux

1st Oct 2025
Today, on her Feast Day, Primary 6 went to mass and carried out some research on St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux, known as the "Little Flower," is a beloved Catholic saint who taught the “Little Way” - doing small, everyday actions with great love for Jesus. A Carmelite nun, she believed that even children can become saints by being loving and obedient, rather than doing big, heroic deeds. 

We created a classroom display after thinking about what
small acts of kindness and love we could do to bring joy and happiness to our world. 


St. Thérèse of Lisieux's story teaches that holiness is possible for everyone through love, not just big actions.
