This is the final photo which was taken of St. Therese before her eternal life began.

“This recalls to my mind an intimate memory with Sister Thérèse of the Child Jesus.
It was about a month before her death: the whole community was very sad, and I was second to none in my own sorrow. When going to see her in the infirmary, I noticed a large red balloon at the foot of her bed; it had been given her as a distraction. This balloon excited my interest, and I couldn’t help telling her: “How I would love to play with it!” She smiled, but since her weakness was so great that she couldn’t bear any noise whatsoever, she said:
“Get behind me while there is no one here, and play with it; I’m going to close my eyes so that I won’t get dizzy.”
Delighted, I took the balloon and I was enjoying my game so much that little Thérèse partly opened her eyes to look at me without seeming to do so, and she couldn’t help laughing.
Then I said to her: “It’s too long a time for me to be sad! I can’t stand it any longer! I have temptations to distract myself, desires to play with the top you gave me at Christmas, but if they see me, they might be scandalized and say that I haven’t any heart. “
“No, no, I oblige you to take your top and go and play for one hour in the attic of the novitiate; no one will hear you there, and if anyone sees you, tell them that I was the one who told you to do it. Go quickly, it will give me much pleasure to think you are going to enjoy yourself.”
“When I am in heaven, you will have to fill my little hands with prayers and sacrifices to give me the pleasure of casting these as a shower of graces upon souls.”
Sister Marie of the Trinity (Saint Thérèse’s novice and friend)

The Shrine and parish ask for prayers for the repose of the soul of Millie LaFay. A parishioner since her marriage in 1946, Millie made many contributions to the parish and Shrine. These included a statue and garden in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, annual donations of beautiful handmade knitwear to the Christmas Bazaar, volunteering for the fish-fry, and many years of her prayers and smiling presence at daily Mass. Millie also shared her birthday with St. Therese and joined our celebration each year.
