The Shrine honors Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) as a Patroness for Missionaries.

​About Saint Thérèse

The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe established the Mass Guild of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux for missionaries and people who observe Saint Thérèse’s “Little Way”—doing ordinary things with extraordinary love as a simple approach to the spiritual life. Saint Thérèse is the patron saint of missions because she ardently wished to go on mission and fervently prayed for missionaries. The Little Flower showed that anyone could love and follow God by living out her Little Way in all states of life.

​All those enrolled in the guild will be remembered at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in a Holy Mass offered on the second Wednesday of each month, at 12:15 p.m. CT, with the Sacrament of Penance available 30 minutes before. If you would like to enroll a loved one in the Saint Thérèse Mass Guild, you may do so by completing the form below.
