Please join us in the Feast Day Celebration of St. Therese!
The Society of the Little Flower invite you to celebrate a solemn nine-day Novena of Masses from September 22 to September 30, 2011.
The Friday, September 30th Feast Day Celebration will be held at the National Shrine of St. Therese in Darien, IL (map) and we cordially invite you to be a part of that special celebration.
Once again, the Society of the Little Flower will be weaving a prayer banner containing all the special prayer intentions sent in to them. This banner, similar to the one pictured above, will be on display at the Shrine during the Feast Day Celebrations.
If you would like to have your prayer intentions woven into the banner, please visit the Society of the Little Flower Feast Day Celebration page and submit your intentions for your banner cloth. The Society must receive your prayer intentions no later than August 22 in order to be woven into the banner in time for the Feast Day.
Please visit the Society of the Little Flower to submit your prayer intentions.
