Join us for another session of the Little Flower Lecture Series!
St. Thérèse & Childlike Devotion to Mary
St. Thérèse's life under the lens of her devotion to the Blessed Mother and principles about proper Marian devotion drawn from her works.
Guest Speaker: Fr. John Magdalene Suenram, OCD
Fr. John heard the call to the Discalced Carmelites in his 20s after reading the works of St. John of the Cross. He entered Marylake Monastery in 1979. Over the 8 years Fr. John studied for his ordination, he gained a degree in Philosophy and a Master of Divinity from the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX. Fr. John’s studies served him well during his assignment as Pastor and Director of Development for what was then the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Through his efforts the Shrine was elevated to the status of Minor Basilica and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Having spent nearly ten years at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower, he has since served various assignments throughout the Oklahoma Semi-Province of St. Thérèse.
