Saint Therese Little Flower Parish is a diverse faith community of love
and acceptance, serving God and our dear neighbor
through vibrant liturgies and social outreach.
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us on October 25 for this very special day at St. Therese Little Flower Parish! What a blessing to see a “full house” and feel the joy of our St. Therese community reunited! Our church was filled with love, friendship, and excitement as generations of parishioners, school alumni, and community members came together to worship at a special Mass celebrated by Father Don Farnan. Please watch the KCTV5 Feature.
The celebration included breakfast and tours of our school and beautifully renovated office building. It was a wonderful way to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate all that makes St. Therese so special. You can view more photos on our Facebook page.
In partnership with Rockhurst University, we invite you to join Father Don Farnan and other priests for weekly Mass each Thursday at 12:15 p.m. at the Alvin Brooks Center Mabee Chapel (5401 Troost Avenue, Kansas City). All are welcome! Learn more about the Alvin Brooks Center.
This weekly gathering connects people from across parishes and the city to share in the Eucharist, strengthen community, and support ministries serving our urban-core neighbors. It's a simple but meaningful way to deepen faith and fellowship in the heart of Kansas City.
Make this part of your weekly rhythm. Come as you are, bring a friend, and take a mid-day pause for prayer and community. Stay for conversation or step in for a quiet moment of prayer.
Welcome to St Therese Little Flower Catholic Church, a small urban core Roman Catholic Church with a big heart in the Blue Hills neighborhood of mid-town Kansas City, Missouri. We are a very faith-filled, diverse, spirit-led community that is small enough to be a very intimate and close-knit family yet large enough to serve our brothers and sisters in the community who are less fortunate than we are.
We are united at the Table of the Lord in the Eucharist. We enjoy being a family and the love and support that we can share. We enjoy fellowship and fun with our church family and are driven by a sense of justice and peace in our neighborhood and beyond.
"It's a great place to hear the Word in a friendly, family-like atmosphere.

You are family once you enter the door. Everyone is welcome!"
