About the Saint
About St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Thérèse Martin was born in Alençon, France, in 1873 and entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux at age 15. She became known throughout the Catholic world for her Little Way — a spirituality centered on trusting God and doing small things with great love.
Her autobiography, Story of a Soul, helped spread her spirituality around the world. St. Thérèse was canonized in 1925 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1997. Roses remain one of the best-known symbols associated with her devotion.
A Personal Note
From Shawn Kilgarlin
I'm Shawn Kilgarlin — wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and Life Coach. Thérèse speaks to me as a woman who understood that holiness is not about grand gestures — it is about the thousand small choices we make every day to love.
As a mother and a clinician, I live in the small moments. Thérèse sanctified them. Every ShopCatholic card is part of my mission of giving, funding Christmas gifts for those in need and serving those in addiction recovery. Thank you. 🙏
