Little Flower School

PreK - 8th Grade

For over 95 years, Little Flower School has assisted the Catholic Church in its mission of developing committed Catholics.

Students learn to recognize the love of God in our midst and are challenged to extend his love to those in need, following the example of Jesus and St. Thérèse.

Now Enrolling

Restoration & Preservation Project

With your loving support, donations, and prayers, the friars have adopted a master plan for the Basilica, monastery, and the entire campus. The adoption of this master plan is an important step towards the realization of the Basilica’s restoration and preservation.

Help us continue St. Thérèse’s mission at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower: making God’s merciful love known and loved to the four corners of the world.
