Saint Therese of the Little Flower Catholic Church explained

Saint Thérèse of the Little Flower Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reno, in the U.S. state of Nevada.[1] A Catholic elementary school is also located on the grounds, called Little Flower School.[2]

History

The parish was established in 1948 and is in its third location.[3] Until 1978 the church itself was housed in a brick building at Wells Avenue and Vassar Street in Reno, Nevada; the building became a bank branch.

The church was among those visited by relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.[4] This church is one of seven in the United States to enshrine a relic of Our Lady of Guadalupe.[5]

The Little Flower School opened in 1962, and teaches grade K - 8.[6]

Notable alumni include Governor Brian Sandoval.[7]
