Lisieux House
Named after St Thérèse of Lisieux.
Born on 2 January, 1873, Thérèse was extremely sensitive towards others. She was also stubborn and strong willed. At age fourteen, Therese expressed a deep longing for life as a cloistered Carmelite. At age fifteen, she entered the convent and became known as the “Little Flower of Jesus”.
She practised the “little way”, with a devotion to God that was both profound and childlike, and with the performance of small tasks and actions in a conscientious and humble manner. She died in September, 1897 and was canonised in 1925.
She is the patron saint of aviators and foreign missionaries.
“In one word, it is faith. In two words, humility, faith. In three words, humility, faith, love”.
