Celebrating 100 Years of The Canonisation of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
The Little Flower teaches us to love deeply, trust completely, and find holiness in the small things.

On November 02, 2025s, in a spirit of joy and reflection, a special screening on the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux was shown to all the catechism children at the Carmelite Monastery. Since the screening took place on All Souls’ Day, it became a truly meaningful occasion — a perfect reflection of St. Thérèse’s pure and beautiful soul. The event was lovingly organized by the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Community, OCDS, as part of the Centenary Celebration of the Canonisation of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

The screening began with a warm welcome note by the President of the OCDS Community, Elizabeth Santos, followed by a prayer led by Mathil Jane. At the end, Mrs. Dorothy Gomes, President of the Catechists, delivered a heartfelt vote of thanks. The children were deeply touched by her story, and the morning ended on a sweet note — with chocolates for all distributed by OCDS members Savio Pereira and Mathil Jane.

Earlier in October, the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Community (OCDS) gathered in prayer and celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of the canonisation of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.

The evening began with the heartfelt recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, followed by Evening Prayer from the Breviary. A special film on the life of St. Thérèse offered the community an opportunity to reflect deeply on her Little Way — a path of love, simplicity, and complete trust in God.

The celebration continued in a spirit of joyful fellowship, strengthening the bonds of fraternity. A lively QUIZ on the life and spirituality of St. Thérèse brought smiles and warm interaction as members celebrated her enduring legacy with both heart and enthusiasm.

A hundred years later, the message of the Little Flower remains ever fresh. Her quiet path to holiness — doing small things with great love — continues to lead countless souls closer to Jesus.

May the Little Flower continue to shower her blessings upon us and help us walk her Little Way — with faith, love, and joy.
