Built during the Great Depression, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower stands today as a monument to the great faith of devotees of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. The Shrine’s notable size, beauty, architectural character, and spiritual significance led to its placement on the National Register of Historic Places and its elevation to the status of Minor Basilica in the Catholic Church, both in 1998.

Little Flower Basilica serves Catholics in the San Antonio area as a traditional parish and people from across the nation and all walks of life as a historical and spiritual landmark. The community of Discalced Carmelite Friars continues to serve parishioners, and anyone called to explore the beauty of Carmel.

Without you, Little Flower Basilica cannot sustain itself. The Carmelite Friars ask for your financial support, please give as generously as you are able.
