The St. Thérèse Mission is a center of devotion to the beloved Saint in the Mojave Desert
Located along the Old Spanish Trail, Tecopa, California, just 45 minutes away from Las Vegas, the Mission’s simple, yet modern architecture is built to inspire prayer and reflection.
Every detail is designed to remind us of St. Thérèse’s commitment to God and God’s presence in her life.
The Saint for the Third Millennium
St. Thérèse of Lisieux taught us the “Little Way” and said that it was not necessary to accomplish heroic acts or “great deeds”, in order to attain holiness. The St. Thérèse Mission is a testament to the simple yet extraordinary life that she led and the great love and faith she inspired.
The only Catholic Cemetery serving the Las Vegas Valley
The St. Thérèse Mission is open to all faiths and religions. It is a sacred memorial for your loved ones and a fitting remembrance to their memory.
In the Desert, Life Blooms
The St. Thérèse Mission is a 17.5 acre property adjacent to the Old Spanish National Historic Trail that is surrounded by the beauty of the Mojave. The vast complex serves the community as a venue for religious and cultural events, a pilgrimage site for devotees of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and a home to celebrate the life of both the living and the departed.
Regular and random visitors say that they experience an inexplainable sense of peace and comfort whenever they visit the St. Thérèse Mission.
