Welcome To Little Flower
Roman Catholic Church
Little Flower parish was established in 1930, and today serves almost 500 families from our beautiful church near Regina's core.
Our mission: Little Flower, as a faith community, reaches out to all in service, compassion and love to fulfill our mission of proclaiming the gospel daily in word and deed.
Our Patron, St. Thérèse
I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.
Thérèse Martin entered a Carmelite convent at age fifteen. As Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus, she lived a hidden life. She was just 24 when she died of TB. The world came to know her through her autobiography, The Story of a Soul.
She described her life as “a little way of spiritual childhood.” She lived each day with unshakable confidence in God’s love. What matters in life is “not great deeds, but great love.”
“My mission — to make God loved — will begin after my death,” she said. “I will spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses.”
This is the reason St.Thérèse’s emblem is a crucifix covered with a profusion of roses. The celebration of her Feast Day is October 1.
Our Stained Glass Windows
The windows in Little Flower church were designed and manufactured by Rault Freres, of Rennes, France, and installed by Burns Hanley Co. Ltd. of Regina.
BULLETIN INSERT

Donate
Join the Share the Journey campaign which calls on Canada to address the root causes of forced migration so that no one has to flee their home.
There are many ways to show your support!
1. Learn about the issue
Discover our resources on forced migration, including videos from Bangladesh, Nigeria and Lebanon, to learn how conflict, persecution, the exploitation of natural resources and other causes are forcing people to flee their homes.
2. Speak out
Send a message to Prime Minister Trudeau asking that Canada do more to address the root causes of forced migration.
3. Walk & Fundraise
This year, we are inviting Canadians to walk in solidarity with migrants and refugees. Our objective is to walk 40,075 km, the equivalent of the Earth’s circumference. At the same time, you can raise funds for Development and Peace’s programs in the Global South!
4. Spread the word
Our campaign guide is full of ideas on how you can bring the Share the Journey campaign to your community and raise awareness on forced migration. Order your copy of the guide as well as other materials for free.
