On February 11, 2022, Pope Francis announced preparations for an upcoming Jubilee Year to be celebrated in 2025, with the motto ‘Pilgrims of Hope.’ In his letter to Archbishop Salvatore Rino Fisichella, Pro-Prefect for the Dicastery for Evangelization, for the Jubilee of 2025, he requested a preparatory year to take place in 2024, focusing on the need for prayer, especially reflection on the Lord’s Prayer: ‘In a word, may it be an intense year of prayer in which hearts are opened to receive the outpouring of God’s grace and to make the “Our Father,” the prayer Jesus taught us, the life programme of each of his disciples.

St. Theresa's Parish, Shrine of the Little Flower parish first held Mass upon opening their doors on December 10, 1933. The original church, with seating for 200, was built in order 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 on that day in 1933 to bless the church and celebrate the first Mass.
