St. Therese Little Flower Lay Carmelite Community gathered at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church on Saturday, July 12, for a private Mass celebrated by Father Josh Page, Spiritual Assistant for the Community. The Mass took place on the Feast Day of Saints Louis and Marie Azélie Martin, parents to St. Therese of Lisieux.
The professed members of the Community renewed their profession of promises during the Mass. The Final Professed members received a beautiful vintage-designed Certificate of Profession as a remembrance of this special day. Those Temporary Professed members in their last three years of formation before becoming Final Professed, also renewed their promises and received a commemorative letter.
