St. Theresa's Parish, Shrine of the Little Flower Celebrates 90th Anniversary

St. Theresa’s Parish, Shrine of the Little Flower, first held Mass upon opening its doors on December 10, 1933. The original church, with seating for 200, was built to serve the approximately 25 families who had been attending weekly Mass at the chapel of St. Augustine’s Seminary located just a short distance up the road. Archbishop Neil McNeil was on hand in 1933 to bless the church and celebrate the first Mass.

On December 10, Archbishop Leo attended St. Theresa’s Parish, Shrine of the Little Flower, in Scarborough, to celebrate Mass on the occasion of the parish’s 90th Anniversary.
