The Little Sisters of St. Therese of the child Jesus are an international religious Congregation dedicated to the apostolic life with perpetual Vows under the protection of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. It was founded in 1923 by Canon Giuseppe Mazzanti and Mother Maria Zanelli. Following the Little way of St. Therese, we dedicate our lives to the service of the church especially among the needy brothers and sisters. The head quarter is the mother house which is based in Italy where the superior General and her council reside. Each country has a representative known as Delegate and local superiors who work closely with the Mother General.
The formation journey of the Little Sisters of St. Thérèse is a path of deep spiritual growth, prayer, and service. It prepares each sister to live fully the call of love and to dedicate herself joyfully to the mission of Christ.

Our mission is to be a visible presence of Gods merciful love to the poor in mind and heart through service that is inspired by Merciful love.
Our vision is to be gifts, heralds and witnesses of Gods merciful love to the little ones of the kingdom.
The merciful love towards the least of our brothers and sisters, the poor, the destitute, the sick and suffering
