St. Therese gave me an incredible opportunity to go deeper in my faith. Learning to live in community, modelling my life after St. Therese, and learning intellectually more about my faith allowed me to grow in both holiness and mission which is our call as Catholics. Sometimes we think "9 months is a long time" but I assure you, those 9 months will influence you for the rest of your life in the best way possible! School will always be waiting for you, but you may only get to go to St. Therese once!
