Our Saints

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior,” (Luke 1:46-47).
Our parishes are blessed to have three strong women as our pillars. St. Therese, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and Mary Most Holy, pray for our parishioners and our community!

“Mary Most Holy goes on being the loving consoler of those touched by the many physical and moral sorrows which afflict and torment humanity. She knows our sorrows and our pains, because she too suffered, from Bethlehem to Calvary. 'And thy soul too a sword shall pierce.' Mary is our Spiritual Mother, and the mother always understands her children and consoles them in their troubles. Then, she has that specific mission to love us, received from Jesus on the Cross, to love us only and always, so as to save us! Mary consoles us above all by pointing out the Crucified One and Paradise to us!” (1980). 

- Pope John Paul II

“In the figure of St. Elizabeth we see how faith and friendship with Christ create the sense of justice, of the equality of everyone, of the rights of others, and they create love, charity. And from this charity hope is born, the certainty that we are loved by Christ and that the love of Christ awaits us and thus makes us capable of imitating Christ and of seeing Christ in others. St. Elizabeth invites us to rediscover Christ, to love him, to have faith and thus find true justice and love, as well as the joy that one day we will be immersed in divine love, in the joy of eternity with God.” 

- Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

“Simplicity is a gift St. Therese cultivated in her life and is fundamental to her spiritual legacy…The essence, the heart of simplicity is knowing one’s littleness before God. Simple souls do not need to use complicated ways in life. They show themselves as they are. The simple soul has one concern: to please God… St. Therese unites simplicity with love: to do with love and for love the small tasks of each day.”


– Pope Francis
