The Christmas spirit is a universal blessing to us all as it translates into every language, travels across continents, and thrives in every Catholic heart. It even transcends time because we know the saints who have gone before us have embraced it too, including our beloved Little Flower.

As a little child growing up in France in the 1800s, St. Thérèse probably lost herself in the lights shining like stars among the branches of her family’s Christmas tree. This year, we invite you to share that light by sending us your Christmas prayer intentions.

Share them digitally, and we will print and place them by the Altar.

Your intentions will also be remembered during our Christmas Novenas of Masses filling the shrine with prayers and bringing comfort to many. Let us follow St. Thérèse’s “Little Way” and spread Christ’s love this Christmas.
