Little Way Week is inspired by St Thérèse of Lisieux, patron of mission. As a child St Thérèse dreamed of being a missionary. With age she understood that very few of us are called to make big and radical gestures, but that through small, loving actions we too can deliver God’s love to the world.
This year Little Way Week will run from Sunday 30th September to 6th October (St Thérèse’s feast day is on 1st October) and is designed to strengthen the link between home, school and parish.
We hold a Little Way Assembly and ask all the children to have a go at the activity to teach children about Thérèse and encourage them to follow her Little Way.
