Saint Thérèse of the Little Flower Catholic Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reno.[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 USA; the building became a bank branch.[4] The Church was among those visited by relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.[5] This Church is one of seven in the United States to enshrine a relic of Our Lady of Guadalupe.[6]
The Little Flower School opened in 1962, and teaches grade K - 8.[4] Notable alumni include Governor Brian Sandoval.[7]
