Welcome to Little Flower
Doing Little Things with Great Love
Humble Beginnings
On September 23, 1928, Bishop Samuel Stritch gathered with the 46 charter families to consecrate a new church in the Toledo neighborhood known as “Reynolds Corners.” To minimize confusion with another church already existing on Dorr Street located 4 miles closer to the city center that had been dedicated to Saint Teresa of Avila, Bishop Stritch explained the new one dedicated to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux would be referred to by her nickname – Little Flower.
Mission
Encountering the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, living as His missionary disciples, and sharing His fullness of life in the spirit of St. Thérèse.
Core Values
Simplicity | Relationality | Discipleship
“We have to be a church that works together to build bridges and to keep our arms open, like this very piazza, welcoming.”
-Pope Leo XIV
We exist to offer everyone a life-changing encounter with the person of Jesus in order to grow together as His intentional disciples. We dare to offer credible witness to the difference Jesus alone makes.
