As a past St. Therese student, I can confidently say that my year at this beautiful school has truly encouraged and strengthened me in countless ways. As well as growing in my faith and building relationship with Christ Jesus, falling more deeply in love with him with each day, I have had the privilege and the honor of experiencing such an outstanding community life with my fellow "brothers and sisters" who journeyed so closely with me through the thick and thin. The love and support that came from each one of them helped me grow into my own skin in and most importantly, to grow in love! It's a wonderful feeling having so many people who know and love the real you, no matter what you've been through, showing genuine friendships. And even after living life away from school, knowing I have so much support just a phonecall away encourages me, especially when life gets tough. And the studies! I have never experienced such excitement and enthusiasm towards my faith -- despite being a cradle Catholic -- before! Learning about my faith in such a way had given me a new spark that I was eager to continue bringing to life. It helped me realize how wonderful and how beautiful our God truly is and that the small things, despite how minuscule they may seem, still have so much value to God, giving us so much hope. With all that said, and even more I could share, I would highly recommend St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission to anyone who is looking for all this and more. No matter where you go and what you do in life, St. Therese will never have been a waste of time. 10/10 and a big 5 stars!

I've been a student at St. Therese for 2 years and am heading back for a 3rd. Those two years have contained some of the most formative experiences of my life, challenging me to be open and grow academically, socially, and spiritually. I have fond memories of harvesting apples and cherries in the spring with the community, having weekend bonfires and countless great conversations, long study periods reading Scripture and History, writing papers, praying and working together. Through the community life of prayer, work, friendship, and study I encountered God and was equipped to continue grow in right relationship with Him, myself, and others. I will always be grateful for my time here, and I suspect I'll be discovering and integrating more and more about the things I experienced and learned for the rest of my life. Looking for authentic friendship? To learn more about your Faith? Deepen it? Really get to know God and yourself? Or maybe like me you were looking for healing and peace? If any of these questions strike you, I invite and encourage you to consider St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission as your next step. It is a God and community centered program that brings together thousands of years of Church tradition, and brings you a wholistic picture of Catholic academics and spirituality, finding the old in the new, and the new in the old. If you're still reading this, I'm praying for you and your discernment :) I pray that the peace, joy, and purpose that Christ brings would be with you always. (Here's a picture of me helping with apple harvest... I'm smiling under the mask haha)
