Every Child is a Gift—Help Us Help Them Bloom
At St. Thérèse Academy, we are more than a school—we are a Christ-centered community where every child, regardless of learning difference, is recognized as a unique gift from God. Here, young people who face learning challenges are celebrated for their strengths, surrounded by compassion, and supported to thrive spiritually, academically, and personally.
Our mission:
To teach, as Jesus did, so that every child can grow in faith, confidence, and ability—discovering their God-given gifts and building a bright, hope-filled future.
“A Place Where Every Child Feels Safe… Because Every Child is Sacred”
At St. Thérèse Academy, we believe that every child is a precious gift. As we settle into our beautiful new home, our greatest blessing is the laughter, learning, and sense of belonging that fills our halls. But as we grow, so does our responsibility to keep our community safe—body, mind, and spirit.
This Giving Tuesday through #iGiveCatholic, will you help us take the final crucial step to complete our campus transformation?
Our Goal: Campus Security System
This year, we are raising funds to install a campus-wide, high-definition security camera system—ensuring every student, staff member, and family is protected each day. This new system will allow us to monitor every entry point, hallway, and common area, creating a safer space for all.
Why your gift matters:
- Peace of Mind for Every Family: Your generosity means parents can drop their children off each morning knowing we're doing all we can to keep them safe.
- A Welcoming and Secure Campus: Safety is a ministry, not just a measure—it affirms the dignity of every person who enters our doors.
- Partners in Our Mission: When you give, you become a guardian alongside us—helping our community flourish in faith and security.
Today, we invite you to be part of this vital effort. Your gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to creating a haven where every child is free to learn, grow, and become the young saints God has called them to be.
Why Should You Support St. Thérèse?
This year, St. Thérèse moved into our beautiful new campus in New Orleans, to better serve the unique needs of our students. Many require personalized programs, assistive technology, and specialized resources that go beyond what tuition alone provides.
Every dollar raised beyond our initial $12,000 goal this Giving Tuesday will:
- Provide innovative learning materials tailored to each child's needs
- Expand support services for academic and emotional growth
- Invest in spiritual formation and Christ-centered activities
- Empower our teachers to nurture every child, every day
When you give, you’re not just enhancing programs—you’re giving a child dignity, confidence, and the chance to shine in the way God created them to.
A Place Where All Belong
We welcome students with a wide range of learning differences—seeing not a disability, but the face of Christ in each. At St. Thérèse, every child is empowered to reach for their dreams. You make that possible.
The Little Flower’s Wisdom
"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."—St. Thérèse of Lisieux
With your help, every “little flower” in our garden can bloom.
