@parishconnect: Pope Leo XIV got an early taste of St. Thérèse of Lisieux's feast day during his visit to Paris. On September 26, the Pope received a cake dedicated to the Little Flower at the Apostolic Nunciature in Paris. The cake was prepared by students of Lycée Hôtelier Sainte-Thérèse in La Guerche-de-Bretagne. The school shared a photo of Pope Leo with the cake on Instagram, describing the moment as a source of "immense pride and joy." The Church celebrates St. Thérèse's feast day on October 1. The French Carmelite nun, known for her "Little Way" of spiritual childhood, was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997. #PopeLeoXIV #SaintThereseOfLisieux #LittleFlower #Carmelite #ParishConnect
