The Shrine of the Little Flower in Nasonville Rhode Island is  the first shrine in the world dedicated  to Saint Theresa of Liseux in the world.

The shrine and parish were founded on August 23, 1923 just four months after St. Therese was beatified.

All who come to the shrine will find an oasis of peace. Come for a visit.  You will discover a beautiful atmosphere of prayer and quiet reflection.  Personal and group visits are always welcome.  Please contact us ahead if you would like to set up a tour.

I recently move the website to a new server and all of the galleries broke. In time they will return.

This is an unofficial website. You can visit the official shrine site here.

Jenarie “Jerry” Finelli, long time shrine coordinator passed away on the morning of Holy Thursday, April 18th. For more information, click here.
