Year three was a wonderful year with 1) a great God; 2) great students and amazing staff; and 3) success in negotiating a resolution with the Town of Bruno to erase the tremendous property tax burden that had been leveled against St. Therese Institute's facility (approximately $225,000 for 2008 and 2009 property taxes!!!!!). This edition of The Little Way only focuses on the first two of these points.The articles feature mainly the experiences of the students and visitors as the reflect back on their time at St. Therese School of Faith and Mission.

The first edition of the 2008-2009, like its newsletter-esque predecessor late in 2007 (TLW.1.2), focused on the reader getting to know each of the students of the 2008-2009 class through short student write-ups and lots of student activity photos, plus several updates from alumni. The magazine feel of The Little Way continued to grow with the inclusion of several articles on growing in holiness, authored by Most Rev. Albert LeGatt (Bishop of Saskatoon, SK at the time) and Rev. Albert LaLonde (Winnipeg, MB). Jim Anderson also penned a great article on St. Therese School of Faith and Mission -- a great update to the original thoughts expressed back in the venerable Original newsletter of May 2007.

What a first year for St. Therese Institute! This edition of The Little Way featured stories and photos about our Grand Opening celebration, St. Therese School of Faith and Mission's first students, and the students' trip to the 49th International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec City, QC, with the student production of St. Thérèse of Lisieux's 1896 play, The Triumph of Humility. (As far as we've been able to find out, it was the first time that this play was ever performed in English in North America, and possibly the world!)The Triumph of Humility was the first of 3 plays performed by the students of St. Therese as part of their third trimester classes: Triumph was followed by the revival of 25th Street Theatre's Saskatchewan-original Paper Wheat in 2009 (see TLW 2.2) and Robert Bolt's classic A Man for All Seasons in 2010 (see TLW 3.2).

The first publication -- the protoype of The Little Way -- produced by St. Therese Institute, highlighting the programs offered by the new Institute that would soon be opening in Bruno, Saskatchewan.
You'll notice that some of the content is a bit out-of-date (perhaps the most obvious being our name, which was initially "St. Therese Catholic College of Faith and Mission"). As you read, you'll find that the "big-picture ideas" hold true and, since 2007 we've discovered and refined the details who we are. This publication gives a historical view of where St. Therese Institute was back in its beginnings as we anticipated starting up in Bruno, Saskatchewan on July 1, 2007.
